su problem

[Sami Halabi]

Hi,

%id
uid=1001(sody) gid=1001(sody) groups=1001(sody),0(wheel)
%

i have another account also id 1002 - sody2, also in group wheel.
i can ssh using user sody/sody2, however su doesn't work if i do: su sody2,
when i logged in with user sody.
it seems that su is broken somehow....

any ideas?

Thanks,
Sami
