OK, another piece of the puzzle: I've tried adding another user. Logging in as that user and then running 'su' works just fine.
Now, I'm not quite sure ATM how I got 'ajt' into the system... I may have copied lines from my old /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Was that maybe not a good idea? I wanted to preserve the uid, because otherwise the uids on all my files would be wrong, but I see just now you can call adduser with an option to have a particular one. -- -- |Andrew Tarr | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://arc.stuff.gen.nz |GPG Public Key:- http://arc.stuff.gen.nz/andrew.gpg |_____ "There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportions" --Francis Bacon |~~~~~ |
