1. Thanks for the hint.
2. The problem was with /etc/pam.d/su configuration. On correction the 'su' command now promts for the password.


R Mugesh.

Something wrong with your /etc/pam.d/su file...
should atleast have
auth     required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account  required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session  required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

With a proper /etc/pam.d/system-auth if login is working fine then your
system-auth would be proper.

1. After logging in as one of the users into a rh7.3 box. On using su command , it directly gives access >to the root prompt, without prompting for the root password..
2. Has anybody experienced such a system behaviour.
3. What can be the reasons for this.
