The first thing I would check is the actual root password: - do the sudo su -, (become root) - passwd root (enter the password twice)
Then exit out and try regular su - Using "sudo su -" uses your "user" password to gain root powers. Essentially you are running "su -" with "root powers" by authenticating with your user password. My guess is that the root password is locked/expired or otherwise invalid. ~tommy This message posted from opensolaris.org
