Re: Problem during update

Hi Keith,

if you run fou4s -i -v you can see the prompt for the password.

I have another idea: in my case is root not a member of the group wheel
and only wheel group members are allowed to do a "su -". Might this be
the problem?

But why is fou4s doing a su, as it is running as root.

Best regards

Christian
