I am trying to bring my environment along from previous versions where csh was the default shell and now trying to get used to sh. In the past things like

sudo su

would pick up my settings in /root/.cshrc automatically. However, with sh I have to do

sudo su -l root

Is there a way to configure it so I dont need the -l as part of the su to get the same behavior ?


e.g.

- 0 mike@mfitest1:~ $ su
Password:
# ^D
- 0 mike@mfitest1:~ $ su -l root
Password:
- 0 root@mfitest1:~ #

with su -l root, I get all the settings I have in .profile. Without '-l root', I am not sure what is getting set from where. But its different as I can see  it in the prompt being different ?
