Hi all,

Strangely, the root password I had always used on my system decided to
suddenly make itself unavailable.

Without having to change the password, I tried to su root in my terminal
only to get the message 'invalid password'.

I booted from the SuSE 7.3 CD and edited /etc/shadow deleting root's
password; after reboot, I supplied root with a new one. But here's the
interesting thing: Now whenever I su root, it gives me root's prompt
without asking me for *any* password.

Not a desirable situation.

Thank you, any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
