Hello,
I can't su to root anymore.
I used up2date this morning to get my system updated and then su stopped
working.
I can use various applications like "root password" that requires a root
password be entered before it run and I can log in as root but su simply
does not work. I changed the root password successfully but still can't
su.
I get a "su: incorrect password" error though am 1000% sure it's right.
Probably I should be reporting more but am not sure what logs to check.
I did check /var/logs/messages after logging in as root and saw
verification errors when I su'd to a regular user and then tried to su
up to root. I don't have the exact message now though.
Any ideas of what I can do?
As for my yum conf I have (could there be some kind of conflicts in
them?)
