Any thoughts? Can you log into root directly? If so make sure your user is part of the wheel group then you should be able to su to root. If not you'll have to boot into single user and change the root password you have access then do the above. -- --- Beech Rintoul - FreeBSD Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | FreeBSD Since 4.x \ / - NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | http://www.freebsd.org X - NO Word docs in e-mail | Latest Release: / \ - http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/7.0R/announce.html --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any thoughts? Add the the users who should be able to su to root to the 'wheel' group: In /etc/group: wheel:*:0:root,user1,user2,... From su(1) manpage: PAM is used to set the policy su(1) will use. In particular, by default only users in the ``wheel'' group can switch to UID 0 (``root''). This group requirement may be changed by modifying the ``pam_group'' section of /etc/pam.d/su. See pam_group(8) for details on how to modify this setting. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any thoughts? Maybe you added your account to the operators group, but removed it from the wheel group? Try: id username and see if you have wheel in your groups. as root you can use pw usermod to restore this, e.g. pw usermod username -g primarygroup -G wheel,operator,... (there are other ways to do this as well.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
