sudo su -

... would only be relevant to the root account. This is a non-root Admin-level account I have the problem with. I had:

ad='su - <admin user>'

... in my .bashrc working fine. It's always worked until yesterday.

Slight correction re my first post: 'su -' doesn't affect the inheritance of the environment. Just the home directory.
