HI Folkes,

I am facing error with su in AIX 5.2.0.0

I have tried to su form my id since yesterday it is now working,
The su would give an error. 3004-503 Cannot set process
credentials : No permission.
Also all files and folders in /etc changed to 777 automatically.

I have changed the /etc with comparing other aix machine after that i facing error as: 3004-501 Cannot su to "root" : Authentication is denied.

I also done
grpck -n system and ALL
usrck -n ALL and root

MY root user details.

1. lsuser root

root id=0 pgrp=system groups=system,bin,sys,security,cron,audit,lp home=/ shell=/usr/bin/ksh auditclasses=general login=true su=true rlogin=true daemon=true admin=true sugroups=ALL admgroups= tpath=nosak ttys=ALL expires=0 auth1=SYSTEM auth2=NONE umask=22 registry=files SYSTEM=compat logintimes= loginretries=0 pwdwarntime=0 account_locked=false minage=0 maxage=0 maxexpired=-1 minalpha=0 minother=0 mindiff=0 maxrepeats=8 minlen=0 histexpire=0 histsize=0 pwdchecks= dictionlist= fsize=-1 cpu=-1 data=-1 stack=-1 core=-1 rss=-1 nofiles=2000 stack_hard=-1 time_last_login=1267798121 time_last_unsuccessful_login=1267731428 tty_last_login=/dev/pts/6 tty_last_unsuccessful_login=/dev/pts/29 host_last_login=10.93.4.18 host_last_unsuccessful_login=10.92.2.23 unsuccessful_login_count=0 roles=
