Hello all,

I'm running a Linux Trustix 2.0.
When I try to switch from my user to the root user (su root),
I recive the following error: incorrect password.
In etc/group, I added my user to the root group but with no success.
If I try to open another console and login as root, I can do so
with no problem.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
Ronen Gottlieb.
