Message-ID: <1992Oct25.001750.22372@pasteur.Berkeley.EDU> Sender: nntp@pasteur.Berkeley.EDU (NNTP Poster) Nntp-Posting-Host: cory.berkeley.edu Organization: University of California, at Berkeley References: <jnpotts.719958967@vincent2.iastate.edu> Date: Sun, 25 Oct 1992 00:17:50 GMT Lines: 13 The su command is giving me problems, too. I don't know what I did to cause this, but I can no longer su to root. (I AM in the wheel group!) I type su and 386BSD responds with "Password:" Yet there is no password protection for root! I can log on as root and it doesn't prompt for a password. Dave Zoss zoss@cory.berkeley.edu -- Dave Zoss zoss@cory.berkeley.edu "I'm not just the author of X11 applications. I'm also a client."
