So much for that idea.
Yeah, SELinux is usually my fall-back thing to blame. I don't like it when it's not it because it's not as easy as just not enforcing policy until either 1) a policy update is made or 2) I create a rule to allow whatever it is I want done.
Would having the user accounts being held in an LDAP directory have any
effect (though I don't see how it'd effect one access method and not the
other)?
Dunno, haven't used LDAP.  Can you change that for even one new account,
and try it that way?
I added a tester account locally and tried logging in with that. I got the same error messages in my logs:

   Jun  2 23:07:50 zeus su: pam_unix(su-l:auth): authentication
   failure; logname=tester uid=550 euid=0 tty=pts/0 ruser=tester
   rhost=  user=root

   type=USER_AUTH msg=audit(1180843672.674:96): user pid=1881 uid=550
   auid=550 subj=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 msg='PAM:
   authentication acct=root : exe="/bin/su" (hostname=?, addr=?,
   terminal=pts/0 res=failed)'

Is there a good location to place a "debug" option in the PAM configurations? Which modules would be the most useful to get information from (and how does it work? I tried one already and I didn't see any more output in any logs than normal.).

Thanks,
Justin W
