Subject: How to make emacs stop trying to load /home/sb/.emacs after su to root?
Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2019 00:16:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <864l3w18ae.fsf@dod.no> (raw)

 debian 10.0 "buster", amd64
 emacs 26.1

I do /bin/su to change the user to root.
HOME is set to /root

However emacs still tries to load /home/sb/.emacs

How can I make emacs stop loading the original user's .emacs when logged
in as root?

Thanks!
