can't su

Hello,

I can't su to root anymore.

I used up2date this morning to get my system updated and then su stopped
working.

I can use various applications like "root password" that requires a root
password be entered before it run and I can log in as root but su simply
does not work.  I changed the root password successfully but still can't
su.

I get a "su: incorrect password" error though am 1000% sure it's right.

Probably I should be reporting more but am not sure what logs to check.

I did check /var/logs/messages after logging in as root and saw
verification errors when I su'd to a regular user and then tried to su
up to root.  I don't have the exact message now though.

Any ideas of what I can do?

As for my yum conf I have (could there be some kind of conflicts in
them?)
