    On a couple servers I have one running 5.0 Release, another running 5.0
    Stable I have a problem with su.

    If I login to the server using a regular account, then su - to root, then I
    try to su - to any other account, other than the one I originally logged in
    as the su works but with this error:

    su: No controlling tty (open /dev/tty: Permission denied)
    su: warning: won't have full job control

    With this error, it makes it pretty bad to use this way.

    Do I have something not configured correctly? Or is there something I need
    to do more in the 5.0 configuration
