I just ran 'emerge -u world' for the first time in about three weeks,
and ran dispatch-conf to update my config files. Now, when I try to su
to root, I always get permission denied. I'm certain that I'm typing
the password, but to be safe, I have reset the password twice now with
no luck. The user is in the wheel group. I believe that their was a
PAM config file that was updated, but I assumed that since I hadn't
changed the old one, it would be safe to replace it with the new one.
More info... I tried adding a test user & su'ing to that from my main
user, and I can't do that either. This suggests that the problem isn't
related to becoming root, but that something is corrupt. The user was
created successfully, the shadow file looks fine to me, and I can su to
other users from root, but clearly somewhere something isn't working right.
