@theevilbit @yo_yo_yo_jbo The point of `sudo -s` is to run the _current user’s_ shell env with elevated privileges. In this case it ‘behaves as expected,’ even though you might not be aware what is happening. @theevilbit @yo_yo_yo_jbo When you run `sudo <command>` the `~/.zsh*` files are not re-evaluated. But when you run `sudo <zshscript>`, the zsh interpreting the script _will_ load `~/.zshenv` again with elevated privs. I think this is ‘behavior as documented’ but very concerning. (I wasn’t aware of this.)
