From a >simple google search, I believe SuSE behaves in the same way. >Hyrum Suse 9.0, although has a wheel group, does not support it. Anyway just for curiosity i added my user to the wheel group, root group, and I still could not su to root. Another wierd thing is that it acts like it accepts my password but when i type "whoami" i'm still the origional user. In my googleing and searching i did see something about sudo and su being "turned off" for every user but root. Thank you in advance Mark Gardner
