Hi, in general I like systems to be more secure.
But in the current configuration'n'installing phase of my new linux my system is a little too secure: I can login as root at the text console. But as soon as I login as normal user, start X (startx) and try an "su" I'll get fired. No chance. I tried to remove /etc/securetty (by renaming it) and I read /etc/login.def but nothing helps. Where do I have to tweak to allow "su" from xterm, mrxvt or whatever owned by a normal user ? (background: k3b's k3bsetup needs root privileges to run successfully...) (background2: I am running some of kde's applikations, but only IceWM as environment. But this is not the reason for the behaviour described above...) Thank you very much for any helpful reply !
