It su's to user 'xfs' (see passwd). I suppose it is best ideally to
have as few processes as possible running as root. But if it works run
as root, but not as user xfs, then this would point to permission
problem of some kind. Maybe a full filesystem wherever /tmp is. Full
being 95% or whatever the reserved space for root is.
