[cobalt-users] was - SU from user other ... - now SU won't work

[Greg Hewitt-Long <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ok, I implemented the two lines suggested by Tomas and later by flash22, ie:

    auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so debug
    auth required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so group=wheel


into pam.d

Thanks - thanks a lot!  Now SU don't work PERIOD!

So I've now got a RAQ3 without the ability to SU to root.

So I thought, no problem, I'll make a setuid bash on the raq4, tar it across and execute it, reset my pam.d and I'm fine - only it don't work - the setuid bit falls off and now I'm totally cranky...

I'm leaving the machine alone for a while, and posting here, in the hope that when I come back, I'll either have had another bright idea (like NOT listening to you lot without building my backup FIRST, or thought of some other way to make a SETUID shell) - or HOPEFULLY, someone can post a quick fix for me too...


tia and good night....  grrrr..
