Hi, /var/log/messages - no new logs %id sody2 uid=1002(sody2) gid=1002(sody2) groups=1002(sody2),0(wheel) % i did top on one session and followed it after I issued "su -" the only new process issued is "su" and it stays there even after I supply the password... This is really strange, it never happend to me in earlier releases.... even "su sody2" worked, but stopped after a while... Help me please...
