Hi Chad,
Yes, with sudo su - worked ok, great thanks. I really want su instead of
sudo su - due to other admin in my company I want to keep this
consistant. Any idea what causes the su failed? I got many openbsd
server running and they are with same config but able to su without this
problem.

Hi Guys,
Hope you guys can help on this ssh issue has been posted in 2004.
Thank you in advance.
I hit the same ssh problem with openbsd 3.7. I got serial console
set up, I got a user which assigned in a wheel group, when I log in
using ssh as a user and try to su.
System said sorry and I check /var/log/authlog it said BAD SU pyiu
to root on /dev/ttyp0. I can ssh in as root, but not su as root.
$ su
Password:
Sorry
$ sudo su -
Password:
Results in the following entry in /var/log/authlog

I don't think the problem is with the serial console or ssh. I
suspect the problem is user error. Assuming you've adjusted sudo to
allow people in the wheel group, great. Then they must use sudo to
run the commands. Look at my example above. The first time I simply
tried using 'su' and obviously did not enter the root password.
While in the next example I entered 'sudo su -' and then entered my
password when prompted which then granted me a root prompt.
