Just upgraded to 4.3-BETA from 4.2-STABLE. Now I find I cannot su to root from a 
console window in X (XFree86-3.3.6 with Gnome/Sawfish).  Even if I enter the correct 
password, the su login gets rejected (and yes, user is member of wheel group). 
However, in a plain console (not  in X), I CAN su to root as a regular user. Prior to 
upgrading to  4.3-BETA (kernel + userland), I was able to su to root in X in  
4.2-STABLE.   

I tried putting `secure� after the ttyp entries in /etc/ttys but that didn�t help. On 
a separate box using 4.2-STABLE I upgraded only the kernel to 4.3-BETA (same 
4.2-STABLE userland), and the problem still occurred - couldn�t su to root in X. Is 
the problem in the kernel?  

How do I fix this? Is there a kernel option that needs to be activated? Thanks in 
advance.
