Maybe, there is smth. wrong with .*rc of target user's shell?
For example, I see that environment is preserved by `su -p`:
> cherokee:~# echo $PATH
> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
> cherokee:~# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/games
> cherokee:~# echo $PATH
> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
> cherokee:~# su -p root /usr/bin/env | grep PATH
> PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
and not preserved without -p, as intended:
> cherokee:~# su root /usr/bin/env | grep PATH
> PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
P.S. you should do strace (-f) on your system to see what
shell is being run and what rc file does it source...
Maybe there's also smth. else, I'm not sure.
