User error....I accidentally chmod 777 su I changed it to 04755 and it started working again... Sorry |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: After doing a up2date on my system yesterday I can no longer use SU to get root access. I type in the password and it comes back saying su: incorrect password. I can log out and log in as root with the exact same password and I can log in just fine so I know I am using the correct password. I have made sure that CAPS lock is not on and I have even made sure by just typing out the password to make sure it is not putting in some funny characters.... Help... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-4.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type in su 2. Prompts for password 3. Type in password Actual Results: su: incorrect password Expected Results: root access Additional info:
