hello rony, mehul and dinesh.
I did passwd root and set the password.
but still when I do su
it directly enters the super user (root) mode.
I want it to prompt for password.
I also want the login prompt to appear when the system starts.



In your /etc/passwd file, see if you have an x in the second field in the first line for root user. For example..

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

There is an x after root colon.

Rony.
