CentOS docs - Sep 2007 - Possible problem with "managing software with yum" documentation.

Howdy,

I'm reading your managing software with yum document and wanted to point out
that
there could be a problem with the examples that show 'su -c" some
command"'.

Su without the "-" or "- root" (e.g., "su -" or
"su - root") will allow current
environment settings to be inherited by the new root shell. This could lead to
disaster if some root functions require specific settings that are NOT correct
in
the previous non-root environment.

Regards,

George...
