I don't know what happened, but here it is. I added a new user. After the adduesr finished I got an error that the directory /var/spool/mail/newuser could not be created. That seems to have hosed something, because after that another user account's password was lost/changed. I used passwd command to fix that. Now when I long in as my normal user account and try to su to root I get the error message "sorry account expired". I can still long in as root, I just can't su to root. So how do I unexpire the root account. -- Rod @ Home So No Cool Signature http://opensourcebeef.bsd.st
