"su -m" will be a solution only if "/bin/bash" is a valid shell and the
caller is root :
"The invoked shell is your login shell, and no directory changes are
made. As a security precaution, if the target user's shell is a
non-standard shell (as defined by getusershell(3)) and the caller's
real uid is non-zero, su will fail."
But apparently, Brandon can't login anymore with "root" account because
"/bin/bash" doesn't exist (so isn't a valid shell...).
