Hello,
Trying to use su from my account to get to root and I get the following error;
me@example.server:/home> su Password: Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive. su: incorrect password <snip>
I can log in directly as root with the password, but I cannot su to it. Any ideas how to correct this?
Thank you,
James
Your Clue: Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive. Log in as root and set security options to SECURE, not Paranoid. Yase Security Local. ~~~~~~~~~~ Hello, Its not set to Paranoid, although I see that the permissions are incorrect; -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23296 Jan 31 2006 /bin/su How do I change it back to; -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 23296 Jan 31 2006 /bin/su Thank you, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
