[solved] Reinstall su

bruuce · 2011-10-06 07:00:55

Hello
It seems I screwed my su command. I cannot su a normal user anymore.
When I try to su as root in a normal user It says wrong password.
When I try to su as a normal user when I am logged as root it says a message concerning group.

I don't find any package named su.
Does anyone know how to reinstall su?

toad@myhost 973\5 ~ > pacman -Qo su
/bin/su is owned by coreutils 8.13-2.

I honestly don't think a reinstall would help in such case. Installing in archlinux never touches config data. So if you screwed up your config, you must check what you did, and reverse it manually. Give us more info if you expect more help here.

EDIT: ah you marked the thread as solved. So, reinstalling coreutils helped? Woa.
