Help can't change user by su - command!
I can login user by telnet, but I can't change user by su command with same passwd. I have no idea about that, please do me a favour and tell me the config which may be wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Sure sounds like ol' AIX.

Like the posting before me says.

Make sure that this is set.

Another user can SU to user [Yes]

If you are using sudo ,I can say that sudo would determine who is an authorized user by consulting the file /etc/sudoers.

Prior to running su, type stty -a and see if any character in the password you are attempting to use has been assigned to erase or kill or something like that.
