I came in to root through 'udippel' (su); and I am sure it worked a few hours ago. What am I missing now ? Or is this a bug ? I have logged out completely and logged back, same behaviour. According to the man-pages, we expect something else: "If su is executed by root, no password is requested and a shell with the appropri- ate user ID is executed; no additional Kerberos tickets are obtained." Any hint ? (Google knows about the message only twice) Uwe
