Hi,
First, it's not always the same process. So 4724 can (and does) change
between su attempts.
I noticed that this is happening to me only on text-mode logins. If I
telnet to my machine from another machine and then su, it won't happen.
The fd/15 part is always the same.
I tried to run strace (I wonder how I forgot about it in the first place),
but it seems it never allows me to su root with strace. I keep getting
'Incorrect Password'.
