Where does encoding come in to play in the handling of file names? The kernel, I assume, just sees byte sequences, right? When you interact with a terminal, or other software, you must enter a filename and hope you are matching the encoding under which the file name was created, or it won't match

su and administrator password fails in gnome

2008-01-02 Thread Rick Dooling
Here's a weird one. On a new installation of Etch, I edited sudoers to give root priveleges to myself (user rick). Suddenly when gnome asks for my administrator password or when I try to do "su" it fails to accept my root password. If I log out to terminal, I can log in as root, but not as su.
