terminal root user problem

[Periswell]

hi

i have a problem with my terminal that when ever i do the sudo su and put in my password to get to root user, whatever button i press after loging in it automatically exits out of root. eg...

joshua@utnubu:~$sudo su
password:*****
root@utunbu: (whatever button)exit

eg the last bit could be...

root@utunbu:gexit

this is very annoying so please could someone help.

If the root users standard shell is not usable you can specify another. Try "sudo su -c /bin/sh"
