On one of my machines, my regular userID can su. On the other
machine, I can't. Before anyone asks...
- yes, the user (me, i.e. waltdnes) is a member of wheel
[m1800][root][~]grep wheel /etc/group
wheel::10:root,waltdnes,user2
- there is no /etc/suauth. I created one as per the suauth man page,
and it didn't make any difference. Yes, I (userID waltdnes) did log
out and log back in before trying su again.
- pam? We don't need no steenkin pam. It ain't there and furthermore
sudo was emerged with "-pam" in USE...
[m1800][root][~]emerge --pretend --verbose --deep app-admin/sudo
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] app-admin/sudo-1.6.7_p5-r2 -pam -skey 0 kB

man su is short and useless, other than pointing out /etch/suath and
the "wheel" group. "info su" doesn't even find "su" at all! It takes
me to info about "sum". Now what?

eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure,
and has a lower TCO, than linux.
