Hi,

Solaris 7 5/99 with all recommended patches.
Machine is installed as a standalone.

Problem :

Not able to su to root or any other user.
when I am doing

$su root
su: Sorry
This message normaly comes if password is wrong.
But i am able to login from console using root
and anyother user.

 from root i am able to switch user to normal user.

I tried changing the password of root.
still there is no difference.

Please note i am not telneting to the machine.
I am doing from console.

Urgent help required.
