I decided to turn off nscd to see what would happen. Guess what? Now I did su from terminal and got into root account. Yippee!!! I don't know if turning off nscd had anything to do with it but it is working so I am happy. [John Hegarty replies] I have the same problem. What I noticed is that whenever I try to log on from a windows box (not just root) nscd seems to crash which prevents authentication. From what I understand nscd isn't needed but it helps speed things up, as it caches information. I turned it off and had no further problems. I am only running in a test environment at the moment but would prefer to have everything working right before September. I'm using the current beta version (4.4.0-pre-2) and the alpa smbldap script. jh</TT> </BODY> </HTML>
