hi,

all you have to do is copy the .profile (/.profile) for the root user to the "another user"

hope this helps!

kind regards

Copy all the environment settings of root into a file
#env>settings.txt

Open the file and see if all is relevant for u. Append all the environment variables by export and run it.
