su只是切换了root身份，但Shell环境仍然是普通用户的Shell；此时pwd，发现工作目录仍然是普通用户的工作目录
su -连用户和Shell环境一起切换成root身份了。只有切换了Shell环境才不会出现PATH环境变量错误。此时pwd，工作目录变成root的工作目录了。用echo $PATH命令看一下su和su -以后的环境变量有何不同。
bash-4.2$ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin [root@localhost ~]# echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
以此类推，要从当前用户切换到其它用户也一样，应该使用su -命令。
su和sudo的区别
su 或者 su -可以切换用户身份，而且每个用户都能切换到root用户，只要他知道root密码即可。这样很不安全，万一哪个用户不消息泄露了root密码就GG了。
于是引出了改进版命令sudo
使用sudo执行一个只有root才能执行的命令是可以办到的，但是需要密码。注意。这里的密码不在是root的密码，而是用户自己的密码。默认情况下只有root用户才能执行sudo命令，普通用户要想执行sudo，需要root预先设定。通过visudo命令编辑/etc/sudoers来实现。(好像直接vi /etc/sudoers也行)
/etc/sudoers文件内容如下

重点介绍下面两处
①此处可以单独设置某个用户。3列分别代表 用户名 我也不知道（反正都这么写） 指定可以使用sudo的命令有哪些
②如果用户有几百几千个，总不能一条一条写吧。。。加入wheel组就可以实现所有用户都有sudo权力。
