i am guessing that you can achieve this by running bash as root, but with $HOME still set to /home/tarvid eg if you used $sudo bash
s...@oberon:~$ sudo -i r...@oberon:~# echo $HOME /root r...@oberon:~# logout s...@oberon:~$ sudo -s r...@oberon:~# echo $HOME /home/sam r...@oberon:~# exit s...@oberon:~$ sudo bash r...@oberon:~# echo $HOME /home/sam -- ~/.bash_history owned by root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415180 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
