Hi,<br>
<br>
Please tell me what am I doing wrong here? Its simple thing but for
some reason it doesn't work.<br>
<br>
smunzani@ubuntu:/var/lib/rancid$ sudo bash<br>
root@ubuntu:/var/lib/rancid# id<br>
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)<br>
root@ubuntu:/var/lib/rancid# su - rancid<br>
root@ubuntu:/var/lib/rancid# id<br>
<font color="#990000"><big>uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)</big></font><br>
root@ubuntu:/var/lib/rancid# more /etc/passwd<br>
<< snip >><br>
rancid:x:111:122::/var/lib/rancid:/bin/false<br>
<br>
<br>
I tried to su from my own account too and that doesn't work either.<br>
smunzani@ubuntu:/var/lib/rancid$ su - rancid<br>
Password: <br>
smunzani@ubuntu:/var/lib/rancid$ id<br>
uid=1000(smunzani) gid=1000(smunzani)
groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),107(fuse),119(lpadmin),120(admin),1000(smunzani)<br>
<br>
Why is not my su - rancid command working here? Any suggestions on what
should I be looking at? I am running ubuntu server 8.0.4.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Sam<br>
