[SLUG] Su Problems

["Richard Luckhurst" <rickl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list

I am using Redhat 7.2 for a client and today noticed a problem I've
not seen before. I went to become root as I always have, with su, 
and instead of being asked for the root password and becoming root
I got asked for the password and then got an error about not being able to
change groups. I have checked that no one has been playing around with
the group and passwd files and they are untouched as are the permissions
on /bin/su. Has anyone got any idea why I might now be getting this
error?

Thanks a lot 

Richard
