If you are logged in as root, you can become any user just by typing the su command followed by the username. That is where the "substitute user" original comes from.


Now that makes perfect sense, thanks Peter.

Yes Abhilash how can I forget this su command
with all the privileges in it. Though "Super User" makes
more impact - like Super User of Any_User.

From now on any given time someone tells me "I am gonna su-e you" I'll be thinking not of courts but... mind control commands; until somebody pinches me.

(su) will give you root access to run most system installs and work on sensitive files etc. I normally run as this in shell as it's safest, you don't actually switch user as your username will remain the same.

(su -) Is superuser and you would then be working as root with complete power mwha ha ha ha Razz luv it Wink
