hi, try sudo command. only users listed in /etc/sudoers are allowed to run sudo command. and u can also specify whether to ask for root password or not. put the following line /etc/sudoers username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL username above will be able to issue all commands like root and without asking password. see /etc/sudoers for more. after making entry for username try "sudo su" command. it should work if entry was for NOPASSWD atishay On Wed, 08 Dec 2004 01:32:52 +0100, Niklas Bolander <niklas.bolander@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Odd, would you mind posting your pam configuration for su? > Should be "/etc/pam.d/su". > > MSc.Vladimir E.Rodríguez wrote: > > >Yes, I checked it, but it's not working. > >I run passwd for root, and changed the password nothing more, after that > >the su doesn't work. > > > >Thanks > > > >Vladimir > > > >Niklas Bolander said: > > > > > >>Some systems requirers a user to be a member of the "wheel" group to be > >>allowed to su. > >>Shouldn't be relevant since you could use it before but it might be > >>worth checking out. > >> > - > : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- :) Atishay Kumar Btech, SEM VII DA-IICT Gandhinagar - 382009 India ph: +91 9825383948 /**************************************************************************** * Learn the rules as you would need them to break them properly * ****************************************************************************/ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
