On a V3.2G system, about to be upgraded, my user claims he has not changed
anything, and now he cannot su - username or su username while logged in as
the superuser.
I looked in the archives and tried all the standard things like looking at
/etc/shells, checking the correspondence between the entries in
/etc/passwd, file and directory permissions, etc.
All these look fine, though I did notice a discepancy between the /usr
group entry and the /usr/users group entry between his system and mine
(which is V4.0d). I have no V3.2G systems to check.
His entry for /usr shows its group as system, and his /usr/users show group
of users. Mine shows group of system for both.
Does anyone have any ideas here what could be wrong here?
I will summarize. Thanks in advance.
Regards
