Re: problem with su
make sure they aare this:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 47522 Aug 12 2003 /bin/su
the /etc/securetty file may have become trashed in some way or may have been set to block su.
Not if a hacker had your box the first thing he/she might do is disable your ability to log on as root an nail he/she.
check for space on root fs and /var du -h

Re: problem with su
I have checked the /etc/pam.d/su and i havent enabled the wheel group and pam.wheel.so. The permission is correct for su and root has permission in /etc/securetty.We have space in /var. In /var/log/messages. we are able to su to root with only one user. I tried to create new users and even they r not able to su to root
