Thanks, Neil Well you should always read and follow UPDATING in /usr/src when doing an upgrade. I usually just set the shell to /usr/bin/false or /usr/sbin/nologin for users like these. Of course you can't test these interactively with su. If you want to do that, give the account a valid login shell, test it, then set it to false or nologin. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Help with su on 6.3
Hi, su works on my 6.3 - but without ssh - just as expected. Do you have physical access to the machine? Try it without ssh to help isolate the problem.
