Hi al, I am trying to install an embedded freebsd 5.3 onto a single board
computer. Since I am trying to fit everything into a 128M CF, I can't do a
normal installation. Instead, I copied over from a PC. It seems to be
running well, except I can't su. The user is in wheel group:

%pw user show admin
admin:*:1500:0::0:0:User &:/home/admin:/bin/tcsh
%id admin
uid=1500(admin) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel)

I copied the whole /etc/pam.d directory. I can login with root and admin
without a problem from the serial console. I can also ssh. But whenever I
try to su from admin, I get the error message from the console:

su: Jan 18 00:29:56 soekris su: BAD SU admin to root on /dev/ttyd0

the pam libs seem to be there too:

anybody have idea what else could have gone wrong? Thanks in advance.
