Hi all, a few quick questions about this...
I've created the LFS user and can bounce back and forth between lfs and root w/ no problems. Only thing I find strange is that even after I set a password for lfs, it doesn't authenticate when I switch from root. So I can type (as root):
And it just dumps me right into lfs' home directory. That's fine, but shouldn't it ask for the password I created?
In logging in, I also noticed a couple things. if I am logged in as lfs, and I su root, it will ask me for a password and just dump me to root at /home/lfs. If I su - root it dumps me to root at ~. What's the difference?
Same with the lfs user. If I su - lfs I get the lfs [~]$ prompt. If I simply su lfs with no dash I get the bash 3.2$ prompt. What's the difference there?
Thanks for any advice/insight you can provide. I am still moving forward with this so no rush on answers, just a little curious what this stuff means.
