Comment:

I got strange problem on SUN Netra T1 server. I tried to login to that machine using Telnet. I could login using my login ID, but I can not run "su" command for Super User mode.
The problem came when I typed the password to go to super user (root). After typing "su" password, I could not get on it even though the "su" password is correct. I have waited for long time, but I never got the "su" terminal (#).
(The terminal session was hung when I tried "su" to super user. Typing Control + C did not work.

What happen in this machine? Does any body can tell me what should I check to solve this problem, please?

Thank you very much for any advice

regards,

ferianto
