Saving the Environment (variables)

Dear Managers,

I'm using the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify where some of
my shared object modules reside (.so) for my C and FORTRAN processes.
Everything works fine until I "su" to root.

Although I've done an export on LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it (and several other
environment variables) don't make it when I become root. I believe this
"feature" has something to do with security, or is some mechanism to keep me
from blowing off my foot. But, I really need LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set
properly.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Jim
