I have a Problem, SUing from a nonprivileged user in the wheel group to root. Everytime i trie a su i get the simple error Message "Sorry.". The access permissions for the password files are as followed: -rw------- 1 root wheel 1154 Jun 7 23:41 /etc/master.passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1016 Jun 7 23:41 /etc/passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 40960 Jun 7 23:41 /etc/pwd.db -rw------- 1 root wheel 40960 Jun 7 23:41 /etc/spwd.db=20 And the password i typed in for root is correct. You are my last hope, because nobody in many different newsgroups has an answer to this question. Thank you.
