Perhaps it did not need a password change to allow you to switch because
you did su from root login? Did you try to su to this user from another
non-root user id?

Hari


Nope, I did su from my normal user account. If from root, I would expect no
requirement for password prompt either (as it should / would just switch your
user for you).
