Cannot log into root account

After last update, I cannot make system user login:

[user@papa ~]$ su
Password:
su: incorrect password
[user@papa ~]$

At the same time, I can log in into root account with the same password from the framebuffer.

Everything worked OK before update.

Please help.

Re: Cannot log into root account

Are you using the testing branch? There's a bug filed about just such an occurrence: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13444 Try and see if su has the SETUID bit set.
