Make sure that /bin/su has the suid bit set, ie 4750. -----Original Message----- From: Ferdinand Schmid [mailto:fschmid@archenergy.com] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 3:38 PM To: suse-security@suse.com Subject: [suse-security] su doesn't work after yast2 security change HI, I am noticing that the su command fails after using yast2 (curses based version) to configure security. It appears that the file permissions -> paranoid selection breaks su. One problem that I easily found is that it changes the permissions for /etc/login.defs to 600, which appears to prevent anybody but root to login. But even after fixing those perms to 644 I can't use su anymore. I can't even su to another regular user. /etc/pam.d/su doesn't appear to be the problem. Any hints?
