Date: 1 Feb 1995 16:58:12 -0500 Organization: America Online, Inc. (1-800-827-6364) Lines: 19 Sender: root@newsbf02.news.aol.com Message-ID: <3gp05k$msr@newsbf02.news.aol.com> Reply-To: benfreedmn@aol.com (BenFreedmn) NNTP-Posting-Host: newsbf02.mail.aol.com I know that this sounds impossible, but I keep getting: You are in the wrong group to su root (or something similar) for the FreeBSD-2.0 release. Now, I know that it wants me to be in group 0 (wheel), so I created a user there, logged in and tried it and it still happens. My "su" command does not appear to have the -K option even though it is described in the man page - something to do with Kerbios authentication. So, I'm wondering if my "su" is incompatible with the system... I got the release from ftp.cdrom.com (not the CD) if it matters. Most everything else seems to work. I even got PCNFS working! But the !@#@#~! su command!!!! Any ideas?
