Howdy,
Does it give you a message about wheel group? I just stupidly broke my
Suse box, so I can't check this until after I fix it. I think Suse set it
up so that only members of the wheel group could su. This is a security
feature. Just go add the user you are logged in as to that group and su
will work.
Good luck,
Ralph
p.s. I broke it by running the Suse update program. I was not paying
attention and selected remove programs instead of update. Oh, well.
