Here was my simple unfruitful interaction. Can you tell me how to make su work as it is supposed to?
[fink]%fink selfupdate-cvs sudo /sw/bin/fink selfupdate-cvs I will now run the cvs command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. The 'su' command will be used to run the cvs command as the user 'joe'. After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'. su joe -c 'cvs -z3 update -d -P' ? stamp-rel-0.5.3 ? 10.2/stable/crypto/finkinfo/curl-ssl-7.10.3-2.info ? 10.2/stable/crypto/finkinfo/cyrus-sasl2-2.1.12-5.info ? 10.2/stable/crypto/finkinfo/cyrus-sasl2-2.1.12-5.patch ? 10.2/stable/crypto/finkinfo/ethereal-ssl-0.9.11-1.info ? 10.2/stable/crypto/finkinfo/ethereal-ssl-0.9.11-1.patch *snip* cvs server: Updating 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/sound cvs server: Updating 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/text cvs server: Updating 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils cvs server: Updating 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/web cvs server: Updating 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11 cvs server: Updating 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-system cvs server: Updating 10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm ### execution of su failed, exit code 1 Failed: Updating using CVS failed.
