Unfortunately, it was helpful in the sense that it eliminated a few sources of potential problems, but didn't identify the actual problem. The next step may be to instrument su to generate more debugging output as it proceeds. Is that something you feel comfortable doing, or would you like me to send you patches? Also, can you e-mail me (privately) the output of running 'nm' on your su binary, as well as the contents of your /etc/pam.conf and /etc/auth.conf? This will provide me with more information about your system configuration, as well as determine what features of su were enabled in the version installed on your system (whether it ended up being a kerberized version due to the sysinstall bug, etc). Thanks, and hopefully we can resolve this soon.
