X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.74 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: more fun NIS problems Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm having an NIS problem with FBSD that I've had once before: once NIS is up and running, there are wierd problems involving the root account. When I su to root, a whoami simply returns '0', and using su after I'm root doesn't work, as su checks the username of the person running it. Am I doing something silly? -- David Thiel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
