Here is the really bizarre part: when i su to root, i have to use su -l, and it executes .profile, NOT .zprofile, but .profile (which is for bash, right?) I read the man page, and it says NOTHING about .profile being executed, only .zprofile. Why is this file being executed, and why does -m clobber my alias settings? All the other env variables stay the same with the im option. -=> jm <=- "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly."
