hi, If u want to directly enter as root u may need to comment some authentication modules invocation lines in the /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/login (if it is telnet) or /etc/pam.d/sshd (if it is sshd) . You may also have to check if u have allowed root login in the sshd configuratrion file(for ssh).
If you want to enter as a user and switch to root, su should be setuid to root. If it is not then, u need to change the permission of su by doing chmod 4755 su so that it looks like the following. $ ls -l su -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 13208 Jun 11 14:26 su -Logu > Hi, > I am not able to do remote login as root to my > linux box.
