This is the result with the -H option of sudo: # sudo -H -u ioq3 /usr/games/quake3/ioq3ded.i386 +exec yugiohjcj.config ioq3 1.36 linux-i386 Sep 23 2012 ----- FS_Startup ----- Unable to create directory "/root/.q3a", error is Permission denied(13) Filesystem call made without initialization recursive error after: Filesystem call made without initialization ... recursive error after: Filesystem call made without initialization Segmentation fault As you can see it continues to write to the "/root" directory.
