After SU commands not recognized
 

Slackware-10.0
With a fresh install..

I login as regular user, then SU to root.
I type commands in, but they dont work.
If I try kuser, this is what I get.

bash: kuser: command not found

path problem? not in bash profile etc???

try the full path and it should work...

or
?

I've tried it as 'su -' with the same result.

This didnt happen the first couple of times I installed.
When it first happened I thought hte install went bad,
so I reinstalled.

while installing it asks for root user and password did u perform that step

Yes, BUT...

It warned me of the root password being too short, and asked if I wanted to go ahead anyway.
So, I did.

u must have netered the long password


while u log in the system
it ass u for login.. dont write su
write root
and then password

What exactly is the response you get when you try to su.

did you change anything in /etc/login.defs
what are the permissions on /bin/su (ll /bin/su)

a short password does not seem to be cause of your problem.

When I type SU I'm prompted for password. Works like normal.
Couldnt find /bin/su.
