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.



This is still not working... The logs don't say much, just:

Feb 8 18:51:18 [su] pam_authenticate: Permission denied


...
If that doesn't work, then I would re-emerge shadow (which provides su) and pam.


I missed this bit the first time round, but I just tried re-emerging shadow & pam & I'm still having the same problem. There's nothing dumb that I might have missed is there?
