Subject:   su-ing error with FreeBSD 5.0
Message-ID:  <5.2.1.1.2.20030514193734.00a8d350@computinginnovations.com>

On a couple servers I have one running 5.0 Release, another running 5.0 
Current I have a problem with su.

If I login to the server using a regular account, then su - to root, then I 
try to su - to any other account, other than the one I originally logged in 
as the su works but with this error:

su: No controlling tty (open /dev/tty: Permission denied)
su: warning: won't have full job control

With this error, it makes it pretty bad to use this way.

Do I have something not configured correctly? Or is there something I need 
to do more in the 5.0 configuration
