Hi,

under my home directory for root under .profile I added the line:
EDITOR=pico; export EDITOR
where no such line existed for EDITOR before; this line exists in my
personal account that I use and my default for external launched editors is
now pico such that I can edit crontab stuff easily. However, when I ssh in
and then su, I try to run crontab only to find it is still booting into 'vi'
by default. Any ideas how I can get this loaded?
You have to use "su -", if you want load your root's environnement.
su(1) for more explications.
