I logged into a machine named athlon (which runs Mandrake 8.2) remotely and tried using su:
[newren@athlon ~]$ su Password: Segmentation fault (core dumped) It seems repeatable (everytime I use 'su' without the '-' and enter the correct password it core dumps). Is this a known problem in 8.2? I haven't tried this with cooker yet, as I have not yet had time to install cooker (thesis work is taking too much time). I tried getting a backtrace. Here's the result: [newren@athlon ~]$ su - Password: [root@athlon ~]# cd ~newren [root@athlon ~newren]# gdb GNU gdb 5.1.1 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
