Now I find I cannot su to root f= rom a console window in X (XFree86-3.3.6 with Gnome/Sawfish). Even if I en= ter the correct password, the su login gets rejected (and yes, user is memb= er of wheel group). However, in a plain console (not in X), I CAN su to ro= ot as a regular user. Prior to upgrading to 4.3-BETA (kernel + userland), = I was able to su to root in X in 4.2-STABLE. =20 I tried putting `secure=B4 after the ttyp entries in /etc/ttys but that did= n=B4t help. On a separate box using 4.2-STABLE I upgraded only the kernel t= o 4.3-BETA (same 4.2-STABLE userland), and the problem still occurred - cou= ldn=B4t su to root in X. Is the problem in the kernel? =20 How do I fix this? Is there a kernel option that needs to be activated? Tha= nks in advance. ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=3Dsignup To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
