SolutionIt is not talking about the root user, its talking about the id you are using to su - from.
Check that ID.
Also check pam configuration. Many systems block this feature for security and auditing reasons.

In a nutshell:
There may be corruption in the /tcb structures. Run 'authck -a' to see if any problems are reported. If so, fix them and then try your su again.

Re: not able to su -
The pam configuration looks good. Nobody has deliberately tried to stop su - login, though its trivial to do so.
I'm leaning toward /tcb corruption now. If it is not too large, please post the results of the authck -a command or post highlights.

Re: not able to su -
I have a concern like can i copy the /tcb/auth/files/ by the ignite backup. If we take the ignite backup all the configuration files need to be there in the ignite tape right ?.. so is there a way to copy that file from teh ignite tape, is yes.. please let me know how to do that.
