Question Instant Root Access!

I have just installed Mandrake 9.2 but if I try to type "su" from a user account I have instant Root access (despite the fact that I have set up a Root password).

How can I fix this?

Just a thought, have you tried resetting the root password ?

It worked. I reset the root password from the console and the problem was solved.
