Hello,
I am somewhat new to OpenSolaris 2008.11. I used Gnome's
System -> Administration -> Users and Groups tool to add
myself as "media manager" (or some such, can't recall right
now), in order to have write access to the DVD drive of my
laptop. (This had to do with getting the DVD writer to be
recognized by Virtual Box.)
I must have done something wrong, because the result of
doing this is that now I cannot "su" any more, e.g. in a
terminal. I get the message "Roles can only be assumed by
authorized users". This happens whether I use the system's
root password, or my own ordinary user's password at the
"Password:" prompt.
And I cannot use System -> Administration -> Users and
Groups to fix the problem, because it asks me for a root
password and doesn't accept any password I type.
How do I fix this? Thanks very much.
Kostas
