Hello Eric,
here is what i get (logged in as root on text console 4) :
[root@big /root]# cd /
[root@big /]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),505(gnokii)
[root@big /]# su - frank
bash: /dev/tty4: Permission denied
[frank@big frank]$ id
uid=502(frank) gid=506(frank) groups=506(frank)
[frank@big frank]$ logout
[root@big /]#
[root@big /]#
SU works, you can see it... But why i get this permission message?
