Re: [cobalt-users] su to root not working

Actually, your /var is probably full.  You will need to take the drive
out, mount it on another redhat machine and then move/delete some files.
The most obvious places to look on /var/ is  /var/log  

There are directions in the list archives on how to do all of this.  I
just had to do it last week, so if you need more help let me know.
