Since I installed Mandrake 10.1 Community, I can no longer su to root on the Desktop. I still can in a virtual terminal.
I thought this had to do with PAM, so I added my user to the wheel-group, but to no relief. ~ $ cat /etc/pam.d/su #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so # Uncomment the following line to implicitly trust users in the "wheel" group. #auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_wheel.so trust use_uid # Uncomment the following line to require a user to be in the "wheel" group. #auth required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so use_uid auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth session optional /lib/security/pam_xauth.so If I uncomment this line #auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_wheel.so trust use_uid then the user doing su immediately gets "Incorrect password". uncommenting this line doesn't make any difference #auth required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so use_uid "Incorrect password" with both I thought these lines were commented out by default, so I didn't had to put the user in the wheel group in the first place. Then what is the solution? w
