Hey all,

I'm running into a curious problem when I ssh into my Cube3 box. I want to disallow 
root login to the ssh server which I can obviously do in the ssh conf file.

The problem is that when I log into the system as an unpriveleged user and try to su 
to root, I can't. The system says that the password is incorrect - even though it's 
not. I can login to the system with the root account just fine so I know there's 
nothing wrong with the account.

Is this some type of security feature on the system? Honestly, I'd think it would be 
more secure to login unpriveleged and then su ...

tia,
--pete

When I die, please cast my ashes upon Bill Gates -- for once, make him clean up after 
me!
