:Those are identical. "su -" is traditional. It's the least to type. "su -l" exists because some committee got bothered by the weird command syntax of an option/flag/switch thing that isn't actually there. "sudo -i" exists because some people get the illogical idea that replacing su with sudo will increase security even if that means making sudo act like su.
