Hello

I have some strange behavior with su in openbsd 4.6,
I have two users root and test, test user is in wheel group with usermod -G
wheel test, when i try to be root with su -
I have the sorry message and in the /var/log/authlog I have :
BAD SU test to root on /dev/ttyp0

I'm sure about the root password, cat from /etc/group show me that test user
is in wheel group.
If I remove the test user and recreate it whith adduser and specify to add
test user in the wheel group I have the same behavior
If I try to get root privilege with su root - I have the same result.

What I do wrong or missing.


Hmm. Try the obvious first: what does groups say about your test user?

User test is in test group like this test:*:1000: and for /etc/passwd like this test:*:1000:1000:test:/home/test:/bin/ksh
groupinfo test say :
name         test
passwd     *
gid             1000
members

if I check wheel group test is in wheel group :
name          wheel
passwd      *
gid              0
members   root   test

If I check test user I have this :
login          test
passwd       HASH KEY
uid               1000
group         test wheel
change      NEVER
.....


What can I check ? because everythink seems OK

Phil
