failed on su to root

Did you use the correct password?

[Jim Butler]

check the shell in /etc passwd - if you changed your shell - it could cause problems.

[Jim Butler]

check your .profile in the root directory, and verify the login scripts can be run. Perhaps you have an environment variable hard coded into your startup scripts

/.login /.profile
/etc/csh.login
/etc/profile

Good Luck

Hi,

If you have defined SU_ROOT_GROUP= in /etc/default/security pls certify that user is included in into /etc/group file
