hello rony, mehul and dinesh. I did passwd root and set the password. but still when I do su it directly enters the super user (root) mode. I want it to prompt for password. I also want the login prompt to appear when the system starts.
In your /etc/passwd file, see if you have an x in the second field in the first line for root user. For example..
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
There is an x after root colon.

Rony.
