I need to su to a different login quite often, and I feel trapped inside the
su shell.  Is there a way to escape back to the previos shell? send files
back and forth (besides mail)?  And even if I use "su -" I'm not really
sure "who i am".

I have discovered that I can "rlogin" to the other login (on the same host)
and this avails me of all the tilde commands.  It also does not put an
enrtry into the sulog (if anyone cares).

Is there a reason I should not do this?

Please reply via email.
