Problem with SU utility!!!
Hello, I did to all my / chmod 777... i just wanted to test somthing, but it was a bad idea :( Now, i can't login under SU. The account is in wheel group...everything is fine, but when i enter root password it says, that it is incorrect. I know my pass for 100%. Is there any way, that my 777 mode did somthing? Maybe some files shouldn't be 777? Or is there any way to reinstall SU utility? Thanks. -- Best regards, oXid mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AC Arek Yes, before my stubid chmod everything was just fine. I looked at auth.log in /var/log , the only thing he writes, is standatr record, like su for user on tty... faild.. The same stig as if password that i'am entering is wrong. No erors and etc...Juts wrong pass :(( Maybe there are some better logs for that? I can enter as root from console.

Read /etc/ssh/sshd_config and find the line: #PermitRootLogin no Uncomment it and change no to yes if you really do want to permit direct root logins. It's generally thought to be a bad idea, though. Better to log in as a user and su/sudo when you need to.

problem with su
When I su -m and login as root, all I get in the prompt is a % sign. My normal user shell is tcsh and the prompt looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/eric(29): but this is not kept when I su -m.

Have you tried copying ~eric/.cshrc to ~root/.cshrc? Why should you want to do that? Why not build a root specific environment setting? Or if you actually want to do it, don't forget to look at the files before you copy them, and insert the root options back in.

RE: problem with su
This isn't right, when using the -m flag su uses your current environment, keeping your shell, prompt etc the same as in your own account. All I can think of is that it executes something when it opens the new shell which changes it, which shouldn't be root's cshrc. Perhaps some shell script conditional gubbins around the prompt statement in the user's cshrc?
