In my solaris10 server repeatedly i am getting this logs in my /var/adm/messages,
'su xxxxx' succeeded for root on /dev/???. Please let me know is it anything due to any bugs.

Does root su to other userids on your box?

I want to be good, is that not enough?

My guess would be a call to "su" in a script in the crontab. The other would be an "su" call in a remote script that is accessing your box.

The reason is that there is no associated tty, so it has to be something that doesn't login.

do you have your telnet port open? which version of Solaris 10 are you using?

if you look in /var/spool/cron at all the crontabs are there any suspicious lines in any of them?
