I have a bit of a strange problem. su has stopped working. To be more specific, su to root doesn't accept the root password. Logging in as root accepts this password. This is a complete pain, as I cannot telnet in as root for administration.
It *seems* to be related to KDE/KDM, as when I'm in the console, without KDM running, I can use su. Once KDM is running I cannot su, even from a telnet session. Since I can't su from a telnet session I can't kill KDM to try and locate the problem!
