Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling suse?
Cracking the root account has been covered on the list a few times.
Yeah, it occurred to me after I hit "Send" that I should have searched the archives first. Sorry for the noise.
It's not noise to me. I'm curious as to how this happened, and figured out that would be disclosed along the way at some point.
Try using sudo <command> and see if that does what you need it to.
That's how I found the problem -- "sudo iwl". iwl is my script for restarting the iwlwifi system when it fails after a suspend. Yes, it would have been better to include the original command in the list of things I'd tried.
That would have helped yes, and you'll know for next time to try and provide better info, it's no biggie, it's called learning. Odd thing here, sudo on my systems (10.2, 10.3 and 11.0) ask for my password not roots, su(x) requires roots password. You may want to look into changing permissions on that script.
