I didnt know the different password requirement when suing and sudoing.

But I know I must be a member of wheel group to su successfully. And yes, zsh is listed in the /etc/shells file.

Please note the error message, it said "suspended (signal)". As I understand, I did su successfully, but somehow zsh suspended it and put it to background. In other machine, it behaved the same, but I can bring it back with fg command:

Code:
[0:1]gu@workstation~%su                                                                                                
Password:
zsh: suspended (signal)  su
[17:2]gu@workstation~fg                                                                                         
[1]  + continued  su
workstation#
Also, I can su in bash fine. It just happen in zsh
