thanks Ray. i tried using login.
after connecting via lsh with a user account i tried "login". i also tried
"login root",
"exec login", "exec login root"
they all return the same message:
No utmp entry. you must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"
also, when i use the "exec login" versions above, the bering box immediately
closes the lsh connection.
ps ax gives me: (i don't really know if/why this is relevant)
PID Uid VmSize Stat Command
3362 user 1316 S -sh
19627 user 1796 R ps ax
I did find a utmp file in /var/run, and tried removing it, but then i get
the same message, and, in addition
I also get file not found messages (i guess i thaught that by removing it,
the file would get recreated and
magically work)
anyway, that's what i get. is there another way to log in with a non-root
account (into lshd) and then get
to root?
any other ideas on login or su?
thanks again - ted

[old stuff deleted]
See if you can lsh in as ordinary_user, then run "login" to log in as root.
