I like to do "su -"
This fixes the path, such that you do not have to provide the full path for most
commands.
[admin admin]$ echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin

[admin admin]$ su
Password:
[root admin]# echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin

[admin admin]$ su -
Password:
[root /root]# echo $PATH
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:
/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
