Seems I'm having trouble getting su to work. It will ask me for a password,
but no matter what I type, even if it's the correct one, it won't validate.
Any suggestions?
I've already used mkpasswd and mkroup , and the passwd and group files exist
in /etc

Also, what variable needs to be set to get who to work properly. I know it
must have something to do with tty, but can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
