Well, guess I deserve what I got for sharing root access with someone I
trusted.
They inadvertantly changed alot of permissions and now its not possible to
su to any other username (including root) from any other account
(previously, anyone could provided they had the password for that account).
When trying, you get an "su: incorrect password' error". passwd is readable
to the world, shadow is not.I am using shadow passwords.
Thats about the only thing I've noticed problems with, but its a pain to
telnet in and not be able to su to root
