Greetings,
I'm running Potato, which was installed from base floppies.
a).
This has to have been asked a million times, but I can't find anything in
the archives related to this topic: What packages do I need to fetch to be
able to compile most software (i.e. Apache, X apps, etc.)?
b).
All of a sudden, su has starting to behave very strange.
When I login with my normal user account then try to su to root, I get:
% su
su: Authentication failure
Sorry
%
When I _know_ I have given the right password. Caps Lock is off, I've tried
typing it plain text so I know the input is correct, I've logged in as root
and changed root's passwd and it still doesn't work when su-ing from a
normal user account.
/bin/su is chown root.root and file permissions are correct.
I've even reboot the machine.
Has anyone seen this before? Any solutions?
Thanks,
Brian
