In trying to sort a solution I tried SUDO, but unsure if this is set up to work.
I’m sure what the password is and using “John The Ripper” on the Shadow file confirmed that the password is correct. I login in, OK, then try to change to SU, password requested but is says “su: Authentication failure”. In the past week I hit a issue which highlighted my problem. I haven’t done anything with it for over a month other than using it for storage as planned and all has been working well for longer.
I’m a newbie to Linux and have been over sometime setting up a NAS box based on an old Iomega NAS box modifying the installed software, mostly successfully.
