Hi guys,

I found something similar to what you have described:

When I setup MNF2 with an additional user account that has rights to
"su",
I can not su using the "admin" account, but I can with the added user
account.

Regards,
Stephan Terblanche

Subject: [Security Firewall] MNF2 Beta Unable to su to root

Thanks for the reply Florin, and yes I know that my message was not on
topic with the thread below, though you did mention the paranoid
security level, which is what reminded me to ask the question in the
first place. I've changed the subject line.

I was attempting to use the admin account, which as you know is
auto-created therefore there is no option to use the check boxes in
question. I also created a new user and checked all of the boxes and was
still unable to su to root using that account. Only when I reduced the
security level was I able to su.

Any ideas?
