Thanks, I had looked in that file and I was set to "wheel" which should
allow su.  Someone else suggested tcp-wrappers but they were installed
and remerging them didn't make a diffrence.  I'm still not sure whats
doing it if maybe something went wrong with one of the updated files.  I
just updated again and got a new global.make so maybe that was an
issue.(I might of kept the old one prior to that and after reading the
warning it gives it could be maybe what did things... I'll find out next
reboot)   Hopefully this thing whatever it is will either resolve soon
or I'll figure it out.  To sum it up "rebooting... it's not just for
windows anymore" :(  

One other oddity I noticed is I had kdeutils and kdegames update when I
ran "emerge -u --deep world" before and didn't catch til after that the
old versions hadn't been removed.  The a friend pointed out that the
newsletter had mentioned it is side by side with the newer version.  So
I tried unmerging only to find it unmerged one in ver 3.1 and the other
package in 3.0... which is somewhat odd.  I wasn't sure though if it
would take out both versions or just one.  Any idea how I remove the
version 3.0 of the packages?
