What could be the reasons for su root to not work? I have a user that's in wheel group. Logging in as root works on the console, but su-ing from the user just writes 'Sorry', like the password's wrong. There are no clues in log files. /etc/pam.d/su is identical to another machine where

NFS firewalls
