Hi,
I have a Raq2. When i mistyped and only typed the first 8 chars of my
root password, it entered into su - mode. Kindly Advise.

Hi Rick,
That's actually a "feature" of the RaQ2. It only reads the first 8
characters of the password to determine whether the password is correct.
I'm not sure what exactly in the system causes it, but I believe it was
an issue with the older 2.2 kernel that the RaQ2 uses.
The issue does not appear on any of the newer x86-based RaQs, including
the RaQ3, RaQ4, and RaQ550.
