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:
[test00@halifax ~]$ logout [root@halifax ~]# su - test00 [test00@halifax ~]$ logout [root@halifax ~]#
At this test procedure I just hit the enter key at the password promt.
Do you have any idea for this behavoir? I expect to do so from root to any account _without_ being prompted for the password.
Thanks, Uwe
