If I login to the server using a regular account, then su - to root, then I try to su - to any other account, other than the one I originally logged in as the su works but with this error: su: No controlling tty (open /dev/tty: Permission denied) su: warning: won't have full job control With this error, it makes it pretty bad to use this way. Do I have something not configured correctly? Or is there something I need to do more in the 5.0 configuration -Derek derek@computinginnovations.com
