... Yeah, I dont on the dozen or so other boxes of mine, just this one.
Its been up for 64 days and its been fine up until now.

Hangs in that su goes no farther. I can hit CTRL+C and stop the process,
but thats it. I can su to myself (e.g. uid 2000 can su to uid 2000) but no
others including root... To root, if I give it the correct password, it
just hangs. If I su to another non priv'd account, same deal. It just hangs.
