Please advise... Do you get a password prompt, or does it hang before that? See http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-enterprise-47/console-hangs-while-su'ing-890236/. Is 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts? See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=129045 What might be in the various .bash files in /root? grep -i path .bash* in /root If you CTRL-ALT-F3 to a new console, can you login as root? That is, is this a root problem or an su problem? -- -- Steve -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
