-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 596480 Nov 22 19:32 /bin/bash.exe That's what I found so confusing... ;) > > (I've renamed 'Administrator' as 'root' in /etc/passwd) > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/home/jon) % su dba > > Password: > > su: cannot set user id: Permission denied > > Doesn't seem to be authenticating properly here. Are you sure > dba has network logon priveleges? I think so... I can certainly [EMAIL PROTECTED] (~) % ssh -l dba localhost and that works fine. Ditto for root, and then bash executes fine. I can also log in as dba from the XP logon screen. Thanks for your help - I'd really like to get this to work.
