1 | All, |
2 | |
3 | I am starting this thread because I don't understand why people are |
4 | using sudo and su together. They are completely separate utilities that |
5 | do the same thing. AFAIK, it should be either "sudo -i" or "su -", but |
6 | not "sudo su -" which I have seen quite often. "sudo su -" is redundant |
7 | because "su -" does the same thing as "sudo -i". |
8 | |
9 | "sudo -s", afaik, gives you a root shell but does not clear |
10 | out the environment first. |
11 | |
12 | Am I completely missing something? |
