New subject: [SLE] SU does not work

5 Nov 2001

      I use su(lowercase, I am not a newbie :)).  When I type in su, I then put in
the password and I get login incorrect.  I have used Aterm/Eterm/Xterm(from
the KDE YAST2 menu)/Konsole.  I have not changed to a different console i.e.
Alt+F2.  How do I get this to work?

I can login and can use the root account, however, when I am in a
console in my user account, I can't use SU. I have even tried the SuSE
provided Open a root Xterm, no go. How do I fix this?
What exactly do you mean by "you can't use "SU"? What exactly happens? Do
you get an error message? Please note, that the command "su" is all
lowercase - just to be sure you type it correctly :)
