recently whille messin around with stuff in my pam.d dir i screwed stuff up...very stupidly i know...i dont have a backup copy of those config file which i thought i did. So anyway to try and recover I used the technique i saw int he pam docs packages...mv pam.d pam.d.orig and create and new pam.d with one "other" file inside and use default setups for that..logins worked ok but su was screwy and wouldnt work at all! so i set up an su and now root can su to whoever without passwords. users have access to su as members of wheel group but the actual su will not work: eg su i enter the correct password(i am SURE) it is and i get a crazy error message like: authentication services cannot retrive authenticaon info if i enter the wrong passwd i just get an authenticaton failure message..any ideas?? sample auth.log and config files below cheers martin ---------------------------------------------- Jun 29 15:23:23 IscArIoT su[791]: + tty3 mclark-root Jun 29 15:23:23 IscArIoT su[791]: bad group ID `0' for user `root': Operation not permitted Jun 29 15:27:23 IscArIoT PAM-warn[798]: service: su [on terminal: tty3] Jun 29 15:27:23 IscArIoT PAM-warn[798]: user: (uid=1000) -> root [remote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jun 29 15:27:23 IscArIoT PAM-warn[798]: service: su [on terminal: tty3] Jun 29 15:27:23 IscArIoT PAM-warn[798]: user: (uid=1000) -> root [remote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jun 29 15:27:23 IscArIoT su[798]: pam_acct_mgmt: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
