This statement is not entirely clear.
Note that su(1) requires a different password than sudo(8). su(1) requires the password of the root account. sudo(8) (if configured as such...) allows root access using the password of a user account. Likewise, note that FreeBSD will only allow su(1) to succeed (even if the root password is known...) if & only if the user's account is a member of the wheel group. http://www.freebsddiary.org/su.php Last edited by ocicat; 23rd August 2008 at 06:18 PM. |

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# Last edited by 18Googol2; 23rd August 2008 at 06:31 PM. |

Post your zshrc and zprofile configuration files. There might be something in those.
