And it can't work because .. login isn't suid root. Without suid root you can't do this. Also usualy /etc/pam.d/login uses pam_securetty PAM module which forces login for root user only from tty's listed in /etc/securetty. So in case typical PAMified login adding suid root also can't help. Use su or sudo for gain root login. This is not a bug and IMO this case can be closed. kloczek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
