I tend to use 'sudo -s' when I want to do a series of things as root, it generally works fine but I have just noticed a minor issue. It doesn't set a proper root environment so that you still have the environment of the user who sudo'ed to root - in particular there is the PATH which may have all sorts of oddities on it and HOME is still set to your home directory.
sudo su -
Aha, brilliant, thanks. It's obvious when you think about it but I'd somehow got hooked on 'sudo -s'.
