I am so happy you have no idea!!! ok so the solution was to remove coreutils without removing it since it requires removing about the entire os. solution found here http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2006-10/msg00759.html rpm -e --nodeps --justdb coreutils yum install coreutils and everything is just like new! thanks everyone who tried to help. YB.

I am sorry to have to post this problem to the list, but I got no answer in the forum, and couldn't find one elsewere. I can login as root. when trying to su to root using "su" or "su -" i get "su: incorrect password" following some threads I added my user to the "wheel" group and tried to edit /etc/sudoers using visudo with no luck on both. also tried to edit "/etc/pam.d/su" again with no luck. I really need a solution since many operations can't be done without su normally. thanks alot YB. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
