As this is probably less confusing: Environment variables and other
inherited settings are usually set by a shell 'profile' file which will
only be processed by login shells. Because of this, when using `su` to
become a different user, it's usually a good idea to use

su -

or

su -l

as this tells the shell it starts that it's a login shell.
