Hi,
I have a strange su hehavior on a CentOS 5.4 32Bit installation in a VMware ESXi virtualizied environment:
If I am root and want to change the user to a non-root user, the system prompts me for a password:
[root@halifax ~]# useradd test00 [root@halifax ~]# su - test00
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Password:
The above warning comes from sudo. Figure out why you're running sudo and not su as you expect. Is it aliased?
