su asks for the pw of the new user, usually root. sudo asks for the user's pw unless the need for a pw is suppressed. I think you need to update root's pw. Just retype the same pw to reset it in response to the passwd command when running as root. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
