I am so happy you have no idea!!!
ok so the solution was to remove coreutils without removing it since it
requires removing about the entire os.
solution found here
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2006-10/msg00759.html
rpm -e --nodeps --justdb coreutils
yum install coreutils
and everything is just like new!
thanks everyone who tried to help.

I am sorry to have to post this problem to the list, but I got no answer in
the forum, and couldn't find one elsewere.
I can login as root.
when trying to su to root using "su" or "su -" i get "su: incorrect password"
following some threads I added my user to the "wheel" group and tried to edit
/etc/sudoers using visudo with no luck on both.
also tried to edit "/etc/pam.d/su" again with no luck.
I really need a solution since many operations can't be done without su
normally.
thanks alot
YB.
