Hi there,
        I have a SPARCStation LX and I have just installed Solaris 2.3
and several (50 or so...) patches. The system seems to run great except
for one
small detail... I can't seem to "su" wh I am running tcsh. Is this a
problem that is fixable? Did one of the patches that I installed take
out this ability. suggs?

I'm having the same problem:

ktik3:/staff/users/wilde!51> su
su: Sorry

Are there any ways to fix this? Thanx for every hint,

I had the exact same problem while running a copy of tcsh that was compiled
under 4.1.3.  Re-compiling the latest version of tcsh under 2.3 seems to have
solved the problem.

1. Solaris 2.3 - su problems

Hi, Im mainly a SunOS 4.1.3 administrator and I thought I
would try my hand at Solaris 2.3.

The installation from CD went fine, I then added a NIS user
from our SunOS 4.1.3_U1 NIS server to the password file and
then logged in as this person across the net.

The login worked fine and I could run things etc, but as
soon as I tried to su (to anybody) I get :

su: Sorry

Im puzzled .. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
