Lennart's basic premise for doing this is quite wrong. Not completely groundless, but still substantially wrong. He writes: > [su] will given you kind of a shell, and it’s fine to use it for that, but it’s not a full login, and shouldn’t be mistaken for one. Well, yes, by default. But... that's what "su -" is for. Gives you new root shell as a treat, complete with env clean-up and running root's preferred shell interpreter. Granted, having to type two extra characters each time is mildly annoying, but hardly a good reason to produce grand claims like "su is really a broken concept".
