Hi,
I got my /etc/passwd and /etc/group from mkpasswd and mkgroup. When
I'm loged as user, sometimes I need to get administrator privileges, for
instance, to make and install a library or program. How do I do that? I
tried:
su administrator
but it always says I'm using the wrong password (I use the same password
I use to log as administrator). What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Maurício
