When I am logged in as a non-root user and I try to become root by

My /root/.bash_profile contains (among other things):
export PS1="[\e[1;31m\]$(tput bold)\u$(tput sgr0)\[\e[0...@\h \w]\$ "
The point is to make the username ("root") display in BOLD and RED
text. After su'ing, the text is not bold nor red. If I then enter
"source ~/.bash_profile", however, the prompt displays correctly,
showing "root" in bold and red text.
How come su'ing doesn't seem to effect everything in the
/root/.bash_profile file?
Thanks,
Daniel

I think you may need to set that in ~/.bashrc
