Don, earlier, I had checked by running like this also
Code:
./bb.sh

Now, also after reading your post I again ran like this but the same result.
My screenshot proves this.
Also, I had used my 1st line in bb.sh as
Code:
#! /bin/bash

(there is a space between #! and /bin/bash, I hope this shouldn't be a problem because your post doesn't reflect any space.)
But the same output. See my screenshot please.

And yes I was thinking how
Code:
#! /bin/bash

can be a problem as it's only an interpreter line to say which sub-shell I want to use for my script. In absence of that, obviously the same shell as of parent would have been used.

Also, Don although my screenshot shows that I changed the user using su command, but I tested running the script by logging off the owner "Bholua" and then logging back with the other user "chunmun".

So, where are we missing something???
