Re: Root login

[Jacek Perry <chrobry yahoo com>]

The system doesn't do any account checking in single user mode. 
However I unless I am grossly mistaken on how the system works.  If
you su to root from single user it has to check the passwd and group
file in order to allow you to use the account.... am I wrong on this?
