[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 110368, member: 114"] If you just type su without an account name it will default to root which probably doesn't exist, you have to type su <username>. Of courese if that is what you are doing I would say check that you are using the correct case for both username and password as unix is case sensitive. i.e if you used the username Chris and you are trying to su chris it won't work.
