Debian unstable
zsh 4.3.2-6
login 1:4.0.15-4
If I type, as a user, su and login with the root password, then with either
up arrow or ctrl-r the command history is 3976 items (max set to 5000)
but they are the *users* commands, not roots. There are some of roots
commands interspersed but those only seem to be from the last root session.
su - gives me the correct 4819 commands that root has issued since the
machine was installed.
I thought something was wrong with my system when I first noticed this
but it also occurs on my Debian sarge server. I am not having much luck
with google so I am wondering if this is normal behaviour for zsh and
if so, how can I "fix" it?

,-----[man su]
| DESCRIPTION
| su is used to become another user during a login session. Invoked without
| a username, su defaults to becoming the super user. The optional argument
| - may be used to provide an environment similar to what the user would
| expect had the user logged in directly.

It's the normal behaviour of 'su'. You don't need to *fix* it.
So long,

This is the normal behavior for *sudo*. See sudo's -H option if you'd
prefer to have it set the target user's HOME variable. Alternately, add
code to your personal .zshrc file to check the UID and set a different
history file when you're root.

It happens to me on os x. I thought it was a feature.
