Hi;

I just installed FreeBSD rel 2.2.7 and tried to su to root by first
editing /etc/group and adding/replaceng the word 'root' on the first
line with the name of the user to su to root.

i.e  wheel:*:0:admin     # admin is network administrator to be able
to                          # su to root 

When I am loged-in as admin an typed su I get the following error
message after a wait of 5-8 secs:

Aug 15 05:54:58 myname /kernel: pid 208 (su), uid 0: exited on signal 11
segmentation fault

an does not let me su to root
What is this?


Thanks in advance

Daniel B
