su problem
Hello If I su from user martin to root or from user martin to martin (for testing) I get this errors in /var/log/messages: [snip] May 9 11:33:08 merkur init: can't get /dev/console for controlling terminal: Operation not permitted May 9 11:33:38 merkur init: can't get /dev/console for controlling terminal: Operation not permitted [snip] I crosschecked also the permissions on /dev/console. They are correct. Any hints are welcome. -- Regards Martin Schweizer [EMAIL PROTECTED] PC-Service M.

IIRC you need this line in /etc/fbtab (or uncomment it if it's there but commented out) - that's what I've got and I'm sure that's why it's there; I don't get those errors. /dev/ttyv0 0600/dev/console HTH Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 'su' problem
Hello list... When I try to run 'su' it does not run and returns a message: su: Sorry. and returns to the shell prompt... I guess it is 'cos some kind of permission... just read the 'su' manpage and it tells about a /etc/pam.conf but the file is not present... should I create it by hand? or there is an utility to add users or something like? Are you running it as root? If so, you are probably mistyping something. If you are not root and trying to su to root, then your id has to be in the wheel group. jerry Thanx! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 'su' problem
su: Sorry. Are you running it as root? If so, you are probably mistyping something. If you are not root and trying to su to root, then your id has to be in the wheel group. I run it as normal user, and only replies like this $ su su: Sorry, $ What problem could be? I have freebsd 5.2.1 First, when you respond, make sure you cc the list and don't just send a message back to an individual. It lets others follow the thread and possibly respond and it also gets responses in the archive. The other thing I mentioned, and I think some else did to is that you must be in the wheel group. So, put yourself in the wheel group and then try it. If you are unable to do that - eg do not have sufficient access to do it, then you aren't allowed to use su either. Groups are in /etc/group jerry Thanx! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
