hmm, I'm not sure su - ever worked on my OSX Server install here, have you tried: <div>"sudo su -" (login with your user password)</div><div>then passwd and resetting the root password?</div><div><br></div><div>

More of a general *nix question really. On Snow Leopard I routinely 'su - <admin user>' from a Standard user account but now the login fails unless I resort to 'su <admin user>'. Can't find any dot files I've buggered up so I'm perplexed as to the cause. All I've done to the system recently is re-install PostgreSQL 8.4 via MacPorts after removing the EnterpriseDB version.<br>
