I certainly enter the root password, I'm not THAT stupid... I just entered my USER-ID, but it didn't change behaviour, I guess... Do I have to reboot for this? THe problem actually isn't that I can't run su, it just always give's back the answer: wrong password...
Check if /bin/su is mode 4755 root.root, eg -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 30782 Jul 11 2000 /bin/su if not, then su can't read the encrypted password in /etc/shadow (pam does), neither can it setuid() to root. I guess that resolves your problem.
I'm kinda stuck...
I'll try that sudoers thing later. already had a look at it an hour ago, but i guess i'm too tired to get that thing working now...
:-) The same problem everywhere...
Roman.
