Help with user accounts and shells
I am trying to setup a few user accounts%>adduser josh
%>passwd josh
then I enter password and that is all good, but from that account if I try to su to become super user I can but I can't run stuff. Like up2date must be run as root, but if I su from the account josh then I can't run it, but if I actually login as root (which I know is not a good idea, what I'm trying to avoid) then I can run up2date.
I'm trying to avoid having to pass the root password over the open world.
Could it be that these users don't have the right shells?
