I really apology to insist but the fact that I can't fix root prevent me 
of fully use the cluster since I can send command to  the clients.
Let's start from the beginning.
Once I am logged as a user
I become root with the following command  "su -" or "su -l root"
now if I do su , I am asked for the root passwd but nothing after that I 
stay a regular user.


How come ?
