For sudo -i to work AFAIK user oracle needs to be able to execute the shell as user ggs, i.e. with 'sudo -u ggs -i ls' the real command run is something like '/usr/bin/ksh ls'. Depending on your sudoers this may not be the case. -- Michael Gliwinski Henderson Group Information Services 9-11 Hightown Avenue, Newtownabby, BT36 4RT Phone: 028 9034 3319 ********************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
