Hi!
I cannot try this now to see if it still works, but in the past I've used the following workaround for this: use "su -" to su to a member of the wheel group (the "-" makes this a login shell),
That worked.
I'm glad! I need that very often :o)
and then use either a "su" or a "su -" to become root.
But that failed, reporting incorrect password.
Ok good. It might be a problem for some people, but I think it's safer this way... it would be no use to allow only members of wheel to su to root if anyone could su to wheel and then to root. Apart from adding an extra password between the status of mortal user and root of course.
I don't know how to block this approach,
My test indicates it's already blocked.
Groovy. Thanks.
