Now that's interesting. I didn't google it thinking it was simply a 
needed group addition.  What I don't get is why 1 FC6 server works and 
one doesn't.  I can su into one user on a server and have no problems, 
but can't the same user on a different server.  Hmm.

Thanks for the link though.  It does help.
