not able to su - root
Hi,
I am not able to su - root, below are permission set on su bash-3.00$ su - root's Password: 3004-307 You are not allowed to su to this account. bash-3.00$ ls -l su -r-sr-xr-x 1 root security 32732 Apr 03 2009 su Please suggest. |
I'm not sure it has anything to do with the permissions on the "su" executable file---can you "su" to any user?
Who is in the "security" group |
All part of the standard configuration, plenty of docs around if you look - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ai...oup/index.html

Thanks acid_kewpie for your response. I have checked the site, and checkef on server , as for as settings are concerned itlook OK, but still unable to get the root cause for unable to su -.
I am able to su - to any oher Normal user then root. # lsuser -a sugroups root root sugroups=All |
Are you member of group security or not?
|
Yes,
Below is output of id command. bash-3.00# id uid=0(root) gid=0(system) groups=2(bin),3(sys),7(security),8(cron),10(audit),11(lp) |
what? But.. you ARE root..??? AND very very clearly NOT in the sugroups group. Did you not read anything we've said?
|
Yes, it's a bit confusing: you are root-user, and you want to execute 'su -'? Why?
|
Thanks acid_kewpie , NevemTeve for your response.
the output which I have send is from VIO Server then mkvt -id (problematic server), not Directly from vio client (Problematic Server), we dont have directly root login enabled. I am a able to su to any normal user other then root, I have checked root is in su groups # lsuser -a sugroups root root sugroups=All |
No. The user that wants to became root should be in the group security (or which), not the root itself.
