That seems to be the problem. Someone must have overwritten the 'su'
command. How to do that? Easy, just link /bin/su to a file called
/tmp/.tX0-lock (symbolic link)... then start the X server, interupt the
server... and look at your file su... it's been decreased. ONLY, the
thing is that when you'd do that, the file 'su' would have been 11 bytes
and that's not the case. Perhaps because of a new kernel?
Just my guess....
