-------
System name: master-chief-personnelman-surface-warfare.mit.edu
Type and version: i686 9.3.8 (with mkserv)
Display type: nVidia Corporation NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro] (rev 15)
Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager: sawfish
What were you trying to do?
Login as user and su to root at the console or remotely
gives the error "incorrect password"
What's wrong:
Need to be able to su instead of having to log in as root.
What should have happened:
It likes my password when I log in as root. It should like my
password the rest of the time.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
No srvtab.
