The ip address is static so its not that although I'm sure its something to do with the firewall in someway the machine is just a NAT gateway and name server with 2 nic's one for internal one for external traffic. I can for example do su and the password and it works or su - username and its works but if i try su - root and the password is hangs the session and I can't connect again. Think I'm going to have a think about what it could be.

Doesn't happen on this one...and sounds more like a sh**ged network than a su bug. Are you on a dynamic IP? Maybe the firewall isn't refreshing it's ruleset when the IP changes? > which currently means I've no FreeBSD computer until I go and fix it. > Getting withdrawl simptons already. -- In any formula, constants (especially those obtained from handbooks) are to be treated as variables.
