I've been staying current, more or less, but otherwise I have the same approach to config files: if I accepted the default when I installed a package, I don't worry about that config when I update. If I trusted the devs once, I'll do it again.
However, I don't have the problem you do. I can su just fine, both with su(1) and with sux(1). I suspect you have other problems, but frankly have no idea where to start. Since you say you reset the password, I'm assuming you can to a normal (non-su) login to root. If you're not sure, try it in a console before you log out... and don't log out until you get this fixed at least. If you cannot log in as root on gentoo, you're in a lot of trouble. ++ kevin On Sun, 06 Feb 2005 16:19:56 -0800, Mike Payson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just ran 'emerge -u world' for the first time in about three weeks, > and ran dispatch-conf to update my config files.
