su asking for password

[Stephen Hughes]

Hi

I have converted my system to the trusted system. After I did this I find that, as root, when I su to a user, it asks me for their password. Is there anything I can take a look at or cheange in order to stop it asking me for the password?

Stephen:

Trusted, or not, if you are logged-in as root, su'ing to another user should not prompt for a password. You don't say what OS version you're running, but on 10.20, PHCO_14258 fixed a problem that matches yours.
