Hi,
I installed a new HMC with 3.2-6 (RedHat). The websm is working fine,
but after a ssh as "hscroot" to the HMC, I can NOT su to root. How can
I do that? Another question is how (which key combination) to switch
from websm om the HMC itself to the Linux shell ?

this is intended, you have a restricted shell

Thanx,
The restricted shell is not on my 3.2.3 HMC, there I can SU to root.
Sometimes it is handy f.e. for lspartition commands, now even the
hscroot can't give a command at all

You can't su to root from an SSH session to the HMC at v3.2.5 and
above. You must be at the HMC on the console. You can't log in as
root, only su to root. Go to the Linux shell --> CTRL-ATL-F1 ;
Back to WebSM --> CTRL-ALT-F2 or sometimes CTRL-ALT-F3.
