Hello
I have some strange behavior with su in openbsd 4.6,
I have two users root and test, test user is in wheel group with
usermod -G
wheel test, when i try to be root with su -
I have the sorry message and in the /var/log/authlog I have :
BAD SU test to root on /dev/ttyp0
I'm sure about the root password, cat from /etc/group show me that
test user
is in wheel group.
If I remove the test user and recreate it whith adduser and specify
to add
test user in the wheel group I have the same behavior
If I try to get root privilege with su root - I have the same result.
What I do wrong or missing.
Hmm. Try the obvious first: what does groups say about your test user?
Also, the new group does not apply to an already logged in user. Use
id(1) to see if you are who you seem to be.
I do some more test, if I use the test user directly on the main console
everythink is ok
I can connect with test user and I can do an su - and be root
If I do the same think from a linux term after ssh t...@bazard I can
connect with user test but I cannot be gain root privilege with an su -
If I run id from linux term after an ssh t...@bazard I have this :
$ id
uid=1000(test) gid=1000(test) groups=1000(test), 0(wheel)
$
If I run id directly from main console I have the same thing :
$ id
uid=1000(test) gid=1000(test) groups=1000(test), 0(wheel)

Then I must say I _really_ think you have an issue typing the password,
as in different keyboard layout or so.
I'm really Sorry, You right, I'm stupid.
I have a fr keyboard and I'm under vmware, I don't no why my Fr keyboard
in vmware console cannot use the Alt Gr key.
Really Sorry
Phil
