I guess you would do it similarly to any other user: execute db2profile and run the command processor. You should not be doing it, though.

You dont have to change anything in your db2profile..... you have to include your db2profile location in your .profile file in root folder ( basically your profile of root user )

Also then you will have to modify the variable DB2INSTANCE value to point to the database which you want to connect to....

What's your rationale for doing that? You circumvent any protection mechanism of the OS and I don't see how this could be a good idea.
