A segmentation fault indicates access to memory that is out of bounds. Requiring being in the wheel group or not is a local configuration modification to the system. The two would not seem to be related. Since 'su' works in the default configuration I suggest returning the system to a known working state and then making small modifications one at a time. If the problem returns then you know it is the last modification that was made. > I am using Redhat Linux- 7.2 in my servers. That is by today's standards quite old. The code in shellutils has been combined with fileutils and textutils into a single coreutils package. You might consider upgrading. ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.93.tar.gz (7.3MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.93.tar.bz2 (4.7MB) You might want to look into the Fedora Legacy project. http://www.fedoralegacy.org/ > Kindly provide me a solution, as soon as possible. This is a volunteer effort and we are unable to provide solutions on demand. Perhaps contracting with one of the many commercial vendors to provide paid support would be a good model for you? However all of the source code is available making it is possible that you could debug the problem yourself.
