Is it possible to make "su -" mandatory?


So we have two users who su to "root", and there are some properties in teh root profile that need to be constant, but one user does not remember "su -" to get the env as well. Is it possible to make it so this user has to use "su" in this way? So that if they try su without - it will do it anyway?

Thanks.

You could probably create an alias in the profile for su = "su -".
