I'm not sure how it happened but I got my Minix 1.2 system in such a state that when I type 'su' it made me root without asking for a password. Logging out reset everything to normal. Anyone had this happen before? The setuid bit is set (4755) and su is owned by root. Thanks, Jeff -- Jeff Holmes DOMAIN: jeff@questar.mn.org Questar Data Systems UUCP: amdahl!bungia!questar!jeff
