I can't reproduce this; however, you might make sure you don't have `su' aliased to something under zsh. Check with `which'. (I used to have a similar problem because I aliased su to "su -p; chpwd". This prevented me from giving any arguments to `su', for example to become a user other than root.) -- Robert Leslie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
