Paulo, I had this problem too. It came from not being careful enough with the etc-update procedure after upgrading dhcp. I believe that one of the versions of dhcp overwrites the /etc/passwd and|or /etc/group files. This is _very_ bad. Either, your root user got blown away, or, more likely, you got kicked out of the wheel group in the /etc/group file. If you have a backup of /etc/group and /etc/passwd I'd recommend finding the effected lines.

Hi all,
I have Gentoo Linux installed in my PC and today I did as usually su - root to change to root. I entered the password for root, and emerged dhcp. After that I exited root and since then I was enable to enter as root. It's just not accepting my password, which is extremely odd. I've tried a hundred times already and I know the correct password, I'm surely not wrong and caps lock is just ok.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
