Actually, if what you've described didn't happen it would be a
major bug in the su command!
I was unclear on su, and as I noted in another message this isn't as
bad as I first thought, however, I'm not entirely convinced it is the
right behavior anyway. If it is normal, then why is that if you su to
a different user and then try to delete one of your files with "rm"
or anything else (other than an applescript) it doesn't work -
permission denied. I would think that if you su to another user then
your access rights would be the same as that user, and the unix
commands all behave that way. Applescript does not.
