1 Not sure what I'm missing...
2
3 I login as normal user, then su - to root...
4
5 I've created /root/.bashrc, and added the following:
6
7 export PATH="${PATH}:/path/I/want/to/add"
8
9 If I logout, then su - back into root, shouldn't I see the new path?
10
11 Manually exporting it during the session works, so obviously I'm missing
12 something...
