On a Fedora Core box, I have a normal non-privileged user and I also have sole access to the root account. Because I am the only administrator of this box, I frequently su over to root for administrative tasks. The problem is that many of the user configuration I've become accustomed to are only configured on my day-to-day account (.vimrc, .bashrc, .screenrc, etc).

Other than giving my day-to-day user account privileges to perform administration tasks, how would I go about sharing configuration between these two accounts? Any suggestions and/or best practices?

You can modify settings in the sudoers file (visudo) to carry environment settings forward to the privileged environment. See man sudoers and look for settings that have "env" in their names.
