as for the -m option...
i tried it but it doesn't work.
-m Leave the environment unmodified. The invoked shell is your
login shell, and no directory changes are made. As a security
precaution, if the target user's shell is a non-standard shell
(as defined by getusershell(3)) and the caller's real uid is non-
zero, su will fail.
can someone explain what this means? starting from the "As a security..."
until the end.
"if the target user's shell is a non-standard shell": the "target user" is root, and "non-standard" is defined in
getusershell(3) (which basically says that it has to be in
/etc/shells, which /usr/bin/bash isn't)
"and the caller's real uid is non-zero": this means that if you're already root, the target user's shell
doesn't have to be "standard"
So you're out of luck.
