When I "su -m" and login as root, all I get in the prompt is a % sign. My
normal user shell is tcsh and the prompt looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/eric(29): but this is not kept when I su -m.
How can I change this?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,


When you use `su -` you say to the su program, "Let me own the root profile and give it's settings to me, dropping my own settings".
use `su` if you want to say using your current settings.


Cheers
