Preface
In an earlier article, we have explained to you the difference between sudo and su commands in Linux. These are two important commands used to implement security in Linux, in regards to user management policy and user permissions.
The su command is used to switch to another user, in other words change user ID during a normal login session (that is why it is sometimes referred to as switch (-) user by a number of Linux users). If executed without a username, for example su -, it will login as root user by default.
Difference Between “su” and “su -”
A common challenge faced by new Linux users is understanding the difference between “su” and “su -“. This article will help you briefly understand the difference between “su” and “su -“ in Linux systems. Usually, to become another user or login to other user, you can invoke the following command, then you will be prompted for the password of the user you’re switching to.
Considering the scenario in the screenshot above, it is significant to note that the user tecmint keeps the environment from user aaronkilik’s original login session, the current working directory and the path to executable files also remain the same. As a result, when user tecmint tries to list the working directory (which is still user aaronkilik’s working directory), the error: “ls: cannot open directory .: Permission denied” is displayed.
But at the end, user tecmint can list his home directory after running cd command without any options.
Secondly, when you invoke su with a -, or -l or --login flags, it offers you a login interface similar to when you are logging on normally. All the commands below are equivalent to each other:
In this case, the user tecmint is provided his own default login environment, including path to executable files; he also lands into his default home directory.
Importantly, when you run su without a username, you will automatically become the superuser. You will be given root’s default environment, including path to executable files changes. You will also land into root’s home directory.

前言 : 為什麼程序管理這麼重要呢?這是因為: * 首先,本章一開始就談到的,我們在操作系統時的各項工作其實都是經過某個 PID 來達成的 (包括你的 bash 環境), 因此,能不能進行某項工作,就與該程序的權限有關了。 * 再來,如果您的 Linux 系統是個...
