If you refer that I use bash for root is the problem, there is no difference by switching root's shell to sh. With sh as the shell for root: 1. Still cannot login as root from the console. Child process died error. 2. "su -l" doesn't work, child process died error. 3. su works. But the prompt is [\u@host name]# Why it doesn't print root@host? whoami shows root. What is the problem you think that I should fix? any ideas? any thread related error as the child process die when in root? Best regards Ungahelp
