Try becomming a superuser, then the other user and it will work - but you will still be logged onto your first user's home folder. So using user1 and user2 for the two user id's, when you log in as yourself, you will see [user1@localhost user1], then become the superuser, [root@localhost user1], and filally become the second user, [user2@localhost user1] If I understand correctly, the denial of permission to direct user id changes is a security feature which keeps regular users from switching their identity at will (even if you know the second user's passsword). If you know another user's id and password, this is not much of a hindrence, but it is still an inconvenience to have to log out and then back in as the other user. However it does prevent non authorized user id changes. Hello Ernie, i login as superuser! (root) on console 1 !! Then i want to switch to the user frank. su frank and i get the /dev/tty1 Permission denied. but the user id has changed... Why i get this message??

If you are at root's $HOME, when you su to another user you are breaking permission rules (the other user should not have x, r or w permissions there). That's what the message is telling you (I think). José Alvear Hi José, no it has nothing to do with the directory. I think it is a problem with the permissions of the /dev/tty1 device. -- Andre Steden [EMAIL PROTECTED] - GPG ID: 332441FB
