RE: [Security Firewall] Re: Logging as root

[Mitchell, Neill]

The admin user cannot su. The only account the can su on my install was the extra one I created during the install process. You have to click the su access allowed (can't remember exactly what it was called) checkbox when creating the user. Does anyone know the commands to issue to create a similar user at the console? This won't help you though Nicolas. I think you may have to re-install and do the above. I think this root access issue needs changing for the final release. Its going to cause a lot of people a lot of heartache if left as is.   Cheers   -----Original Message----- From: Nicolas MOREAU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 March 2005 12:40 To: security-firewall@linux-mandrake.com Subject: [Security Firewall] Re: Logging as root   I tryed the "su" command with the same result. I don't have the problem with MNF1: loggin as admin then with "su" i can open my concole as root. But with MNF2 when i try "su" the shell return a "wrong password" message. However, in failsafe mode I can logging as admin then with "su" logging as root.     On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 11:48:06 +0100, Nicolas MOREAU <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I have a problem with my MNF2 beta: I can't loggin as root, just with > my admin account. > It works fine in failsafe mode but not in normal mode. > Is anybody could help me? >       _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Minuco delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
