OK! I agree. > Do you have the parameter 'SU_WHEEL_ONLY' set in /etc/login.defs ? If so, to > what value? Yes, but I think it does not matter, because I can not switch from a normal user to another normal user yet. In fact, I wonder why 'su' can not do what it should do - just switching user without prompting privilege. Switching to root has to be 'next step'. > Can you login as root directly on tty1 ?

If I just want to switch to a normal user, is there any help provided by the 'wheel' group? Do I have to create it? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
