Mr Smith,
  I made no such assertion.  In a private email from you, I would have
just ignored such a silly statement,  On  public list, please don't
ascribe statements to me that I have not made.
  SuSE does not have such an alias.  I knew that from the start.  The
PATH environment does change when doing a su without the -.  I have not
researched why, but I never said it was an alias or that RedHat was
broken for its lack of such a thing.  That was your supposition, not
mine.
Good day,
Ralph
