Alias for all Users
Hi,

is it possible to add an global alias for all users?


greets funksen

Edit: command alias, should be something like
Code:
alias sur="sudo su -"

It is possible. The commands in /etc/profile are execute before the users personal .profile is executed.

Put the command in there, but be sure to test the new systemwide profile before logging out of the shell you modified it, as a corrupt /etc/profile may prevent further logins.
