[SOLVED] su problem after upgrade

After last bigger upgrade of system logging to root with 'su' without password doesn't work.
I tried a lot of things. del and add again user to wheel group, reinstall of coreutils, add new user account, add it to wheel group...
i have no idea whats wrong.

my /etc/pam.d/su
#%PAM-1.0
auth            sufficient      pam_rootok.so
# Uncomment the following line to implicitly trust users in the "wheel" group.
auth            sufficient      pam_wheel.so trust use_uid
# Uncomment the following line to require a user to be in the "wheel" group.
auth            required        pam_wheel.so use_uid
auth            required        pam_unix.so
account         required        pam_unix.so
session         required        pam_unix.so

sudo works great without password, but its another package, another config, etc.
i know that i can use "sudo su" "sudo -s"
but i liked my "su"...

any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] su problem after upgrade

Re: [SOLVED] su problem after upgrade

Name           : coreutils
Version        : 6.10-1

hmm now I see that it's from testing repo... it may be a problem with package...

Re: [SOLVED] su problem after upgrade

offtop: When package databases are updated(*.db.tar.gz)? I'm just curious. Sorry if that is written somewhere.
I ask, because after sync I don't have new coreutils in testing yet.

I depends when your mirror sync with the server. Your mirror hasn't synced  yet.
