I can no longer access su. I have only ever used one of two passwords. Neither of them will work today.
Suggestions for correction?

You would normally use the root password, unless you're trying to su to another user. If you've "forgotten" the root password, it is possible to remove or replace the existing root password, by booting from a rescue disk and manipulating the /etc/password and shadow files. However, I have neven had a need to do that, so I can't speak from experience. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
