Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bash

Su and sudo  produce  "authentication failure' errors for valid
passwords, but not consistently. I've now experienced it on two separate
machines. I have other odd symptoms.  I can't right click create a
directory on a user's gnome desktop. I get the error "Error while
creating directory untitled folder. There was an error creating the
directory in /home/userx/Desktop." More details shows "error removing
file: Permission denied". I have also experience root and user as root
being unable to modify users' files.

** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:
