Just upgraded to 4.3-BETA from 4.2-STABLE. Now I find I cannot su to root from a
console window in X (XFree86-3.3.6 with Gnome/Sawfish). Even if I enter the correct
password, the su login gets rejected (and yes, user is member of wheel group).
However, in a plain console (not in X), I CAN su to root as a regular user. Prior to
upgrading to 4.3-BETA (kernel + userland), I was able to su to root in X in
4.2-STABLE.
I tried putting `secure´ after the ttyp entries in /etc/ttys but that didn´t help. On
a separate box using 4.2-STABLE I upgraded only the kernel to 4.3-BETA (same
4.2-STABLE userland), and the problem still occurred - couldn´t su to root in X. Is
the problem in the kernel?
How do I fix this? Is there a kernel option that needs to be activated? Thanks in
advance.
