I really have to say this: This whole thread - some posts in it that is - reminds me the old truth: RTFM. Namely, Read The F.. (damn) Manual! It is really hard to help those who don't care to read the man page. No matter how many times you repeat that su stands for "substitute user", and that the command as usually may have various options, and "-" is one of these options, and what is the difference between invoking command with or without it. I would suggest that continuing this thread is counter-productive.
