Hi,
Does anyone know why su on my machine will su to root fine, yet will
not su to any other id. It'll prompt for the password and return but whoami
or id shows that I'm running with the original id. Even if I'm root I can't
su to any other id!
Does PAM has anything to do with it? TIA,

That is strange. I have trouble believing that this is the intended
behavior. Could the switch itself be bad?
Sorry to shift away from the original topic, but does anyone know what
happened to the 'Blackbox' submenu in the default blackbox menu in

We are planning to by a server with 3 scsi drives and a dpt 2100s raid
controller.
I am quite confused about how I should set the thing up to get Debian
running.
Will Potato's boot disks recognise the raid controller?
If I use the three drives in a Raid5 array can I boot off it?

Karsten's point was that if your data is worth something to you,
Under RedHat I just had to compile the thing. Sure I could do that under
Debian as well, but I'm trying to go the package route.
I downloaded the Alsa packages.
I ran the command 'cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV audio'
I run alsaconf (don't know what those values from 4-128 mean that it wants)

It would be much more pleasant if Debian
