I know. It has been that way for many months (at least on my system). I'm
surprised you just now noticed it.
It is a bit stupid, as su worked if run under a system account, or if run
under a user account with the proper priveleges. (Someplace in this mailing
list are the instructions).
(I know, I gave my main account those once. That let me do 'su SYSTEM' to
get a system owned shell. :) )
