Yes I have tried to su from a non root user login. I can login with "root" user. the machine already belongs to me. And I checked condition of users and groups again. My user had been added to wheel group. Also When I make a new user that has a member of wheel in order to "su". I could not become su. user>su user>su not running setuid. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry McAllister" <jerrymc@clunix.cl.msu.edu> To: "Yavuz Maslak" <maslak@ihlas.net.tr> Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 5:06 PM Subject: Re: I could not become superuser > > > > Hello > > > > I installed FreeBSD6.0. and it was running well by today . > > My FreeBSD server gave a problem about user login. > > I could not become superuser. > > my user that has superuser.
