Another nifty little ditty to keep from forgetting to do an su -

add this line to the .bashrc file at root:

	alias su='su -'

You can also configure Your Root Console under the Sessions tab by
changing the field "Execute" from su to su -

This way, every time you access the shell as root, you'll always get
logged as su -

Like on that infomercial, Just set it and forget it.
