I have a question about su in Minix 1.5. I upgraded my Minix from 1.3 to 1.5 recently via the network upgrade kit. Since then, all is fine except su. It doesn't seem to let me login as root or anyone else. When I do a su from a user account and try to login as a super user, I can login. But when I run whoami, I get back my original username, not the root or whatever it was suppose to be.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
