Hi Al As ever the best group for replies. A couple of suggestions which did not change it, but may help someone else 1) Try this out /etc/init.d/nscd stop /etc/init.d/nscd start 2) I know that it may sound silly. But did you check your nsswitch.conf? I got that error when I had : passwd: nis files So I changed it to: passwd: files nis and now everything is working smoothly... The last one from Ryan A. Krenzischek sorted it out Turns out someone before my time I guess had changed the permissions on /usr/bin and the setgid bit was not set on su command, hence the cryptic message. So a quick chmod 4555 /usr/bin/su sorted it. Thanks everyone Peter Hi All Anyone point me in right direction to this one. System is Sol 2.6 running as NIS master on private network. I can login as root or other user fine, however when I login as a user and then try to su to any other user eg root, then enter the password, I get su: Invalid GID and it kicks me out. I cannot truss it, so am stumped as my other system works fine ..... Any ideas?
