problems with su
sou my slackware don't like su, where to dig for porblem cause?
problem is: # su # pasword: ****** # initgroups: Operation not permitted thnx. |
The # symbol means you are already root. You are trying to be root twice - a super duper super user, if you will!
I suspect that is not allowed. If you are in a console within the gui, type exit when you need to return to normal user. Or logout and login as normal user. |
you won't be prompted for a passwd when using su as superuser in normal cases.
I think you have to choose a passwd for your root. type passwd |
I have exactly this problem too, except my prompt looks like this:
sh-2.05b$ I added myself to the wheel group so I could have root access - but it still won't play ball. What's going on? GJ |
