Different as always, what I get with Konsole Xterm Terminal(Xfce) is : |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
499: ~> su |

When I need to do things as root, I always use a dedicated root terminal, |
| 18 |
which I have running on Desktop 7 & for which I use the command (Fluxbox) |
| 19 |
'terminal --geometry 178x52+0+0 --command su'. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Ah, I forgot: I have added to ~/.bashrc 'IGNOREEOF=1 ; export IGNOREEOF', |
| 22 |
which requires 2 ^d's to exit the terminal. When I enter 2 ^d's |
| 23 |
after the 'su' as above, I get |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
501: ~> su |
