If it had changed, you could look at the file - it is a standard text file. Another check would be to run "rpm -V coreutils" to verify the su binary. If it returns without printing anything, then su and /etc/sudoers are the same as originally installed. If it shows something has changed, you have a place to start. $ type su su is /bin/su $ rpm -qf /bin/su coreutils-5.97-12.5.fc6 $ rpm -V coreutils $ Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
