The user was created as a system user: adduser --home /var/lib/gnuhealth --quiet --system --group gnuhealth According to `adduser`'s manpage, for system users "The new system user will have the shell /bin/false (unless overridden with the --shell option), and have logins disabled." Using the "--shell" option of su, it now works properly: root@debiansid:~# su --shell /bin/sh -c whoami gnuhealth gnuhealth root@debiansid:~# I'm going to test this for the real commands in gnuhealth's maintainer scripts. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. +Emilien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
