Hello, on my debian etch machine 'su' doesn't work if a password is needed. It is possible to do 'su someuser' from root but it's not possible to get back to root then using just 'su' or change from a normal user to another user account.
myserver:/tmp$ su Password: su: Authentication failure Sorry. auth.log says: Jan 31 15:44:18 myserver su[27729]: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=pts/4 ruser=myuser rhost= user=root Jan 31 15:44:20 myserver su[27729]: pam_authenticate: Authentication failure Jan 31 15:44:20 myserver su[27729]: FAILED su for root by myuser Jan 31 15:44:20 myserver su[27729]: - pts/4 myuser:root I suspect sth. in with the pam module got broken. Any suggestions how to go on? thx, paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
