Default [SOLVED] Fresh installation, cannot su - zimbra

The wiki recommends that the final part of the installation on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is to do

Code:
su - zimbra
zmtlsctl https
However, the su part prompts for a password, I type in the admin password that I set during configuration, but I get

Code:
su: Authentication failure
The root password gives the same problem. Normal sudo works with the root password.

Going to web-page https://192.168.0.36:7071/zimbraAdmin/ and logging in as admin and the config password works.

Any ideas?

Hi Des,
You need root or sudo access inorder to sudo.

So, sudo su - zimbra or su - root; su - zimbra

Good luck
