Hi there,

I don't know if you have noticed but your mail has nothing to do with this
thread (see below).

But the answer to your question is related to the user creation. 
While creating a user during the install you have two options:
- leave the check boxes untouched and you will be able to do an su
- if you check the boxes that means you know what you are doing. In this
case, make sure you add these users to the wheel group in /etc/group

this is the same on any other mandrake install and it is not specific to
MNF. The only thing to remember is that MNF uses the 5th msec level
(paranoid). 

my 2cts,
