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

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