 I just installed a ne Linux on my laptop. All is fine except that
 when I try to
su - root  -> enter password , I get permission denied. I can login in
a virtual window as root, looks like user can not login as root. I
must have overlooked something here. How do I fix this, I did add user
name to root in webmin, but still no go. I must have punted the ball
here. any help appreciated



I'm a bit confused.
You can't su as root, but you can login on a VT as root?

If so, check /etc/pam.d/su

Ciao,

Also check and see if the user you tried to su from is a member of the group wheel.
