Hi List,
Glad to see the list is OK.
2 questions:
1. When I do a su from a user account to root, I get the output "cannot set
groups".
What does this mean? I do not get this on my SunOS box. I read the man page
on
su and it says nothing about this.
2. As a user account, when I type passwd, I get the output "permission
denied". Passwd
has execute permission for everybody. Wassup wit dat?
Thanks.
Jason
P.S. To all the guys pissed off at Linux and RedHat support, just be patient
and persistant.
You will solve your problems, and learn a ton doing it. It is what Computer
Science is all about!!!
