Why not? What happens when you run su?

Hi,

 I encountered a mysteriuos phenomenon:

 I am able to:
 Login as root on the console
 Execute sudo as well under the console as from a terminal under X11
 (using IceWM, mrxvt)
 Executing sudo su (ok, that's kinda recursive login, but...)

 I AM NOT ABLE TO:
 use su (standalone) as well under the console as from a terminal
 under X11.

 Confusion starts ---here--- 

 Any help where to tweak the system is very appreciated !

 :)



Is the user in the wheel group?
