Have you got capslock on 
No, seriously.. login as root and change the password and give it another go - it really does sound like a password problem. |

Try adding a new user. Don't add it to the wheel group. Since you disabled this restriction in PAM, it should work now without being in the wheel group.
If that doesn't work, there has to be something else wrong... But I really wouldn't know what.. It can only be a PAM restriction or wrong password. |

The message I get is the same, and I logon using the same password I typed at the Password: prompt. I have used ssh to get around the problem, but it is not what u want....
I made changes in the /etc/pam.d/su file and it works like a charm now:
| Code: | #%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
#auth required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so use_uid
#auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session optional /lib/security/pam_xauth.so

why didn't you just add the user to group wheel to begin with...seems like it would solve your problem without having to go through all the bother of disabling the wheel restriction

He did... Check the first post...
user124, could it be that you don't have a shell defined for that user? Check your /etc/passwd file...

looks like i should learn how to read 
like fghellar said, having the shell undefined will screw you up..it would be nice if the add user command stuck a default in there but check that and hopefully your problem will be solved

Try to add yourself to the root-group as well.. (weird. wheel should be enough)
| Code: | snoopey@home:~$ groups
users root wheel
|
As I don't have this problem my self, I don't know if this is the solution. |
