I'm pretty sure I'm having that problem with Bastille limiting filesizes which
prevents me from su to root. but all of the fixes I've found require logging in as
root, which I'm unable to do. For those unfamiliar with this problem, issuing the su
command and entering the password yields the following message
[jason@localhost jason]$ su
Password:
File size limit exceeded
[jason@localhost jason]$ su -
Password:
File size limit exceeded
[jason@localhost jason]$
some have speculated that using the - switch would change the result. apparently I've
circumvented this. again, logging in as root fails, even after changing every varible
I can think of.
I've also nosed around for a local vunrability to gain root access, but since I've
installed all of the patches and locked down everything except port 6000 (X11), I have
nothing.
Is there something I can do to fix this _without_ reinstalling? feel free to taunt
and ridicule me in your reply.
