I've just installed FreeBSD 4.5, and using some of my linux knowledge, I've tried to "su" to root from my user account, I've checked the online book and I cant seem to find anything about su-ing... I'm also using "Unix hints and HACKS" as my first reference book.. Page 92 (Security) says I should type the complete path eg. /bin/su /bin/su root when I type $ /bin/su I get not found $ /bin/su root not found at the moment I have to log out and re-log in as root to do anything.. this cant be.. can someone help a newbie out with this problem?? Another question, what group do I need to be in to su to root (if I need to be in a special group that is..) Thanks for all the help in advance....GOD BLESS YOU ALL Gavin -- Gavin's English School Fukushimaken, Fukushima City Nankodai 2-34-1 T-960-8143 fax 0245-22-3264 phone 0245-21-6220 e-mail gauin_36@d3.dion.ne.jp (school mail address) Registered Linux user #199685 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
