The problem is that, even if I try to do a "su - root" I'm connected as root or toor in a random way. This is a problem since I cannot edit crontabs and other stuff of the root account. Any idea on how to create the toor account without the problem? Luca P.S. I didn't reboot the machine (since I cannot). -- Luca Ferrari, fluca1978@infinito.it
