I'm having troubles with su. I don't seem able to su to any account
unless I login as root. I can't even su into the account I'm already
logged into. When I do "su someusername" it prompts me for a password and
when I give it the correct password I get a "Sorry". Su-ing from root to
another account works peachy. It sounds like a permission problem to me.
Here is the permissions set for su and passwd(which I assume su reads):
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 Jan 21 17:40 su
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 728 Feb 10 11:48 passwd
So it looks like I should be able to execute su and read the passwd file.
Are there any other files I should be looking at?
