I am so sorry for previous two messages that gum up the works. :-) This is
the whole messag:

I am using LFS 6.3 without PAM installed. I have create a normal user
'weedly', and log in with 'weedly'. I want to change to 'root'. Then, I
used
                                su root
and get the following message:

weedly [ ~ ]$ su root
Password:
Sorry.

It seems that the su command does not take effect. I googled this problem
and realized that only users in 'wheel' group has the priviledge to execute
su. But LFS 6.3 does not has 'wheel' group. In addition, even if the
'wheel' group exists, it seems that I also should modify some configuration
file concerning PAM. However, PAM does not installed in LFS 6.3. So, with
my purpose to excute su to change user, how can I do to resolve the problem?
