Ok, whenever I run command "su" in Gentoo, I get the following error:

(me) $ su
Password:
su: Permission denied
Sorry.

(back to prompt)$


This has never happend to me before, how do I fix this?

Thanks,

Beatlejuice

Alright, that did it!

Thanks a lot you guys, I appreciate it! Sorry about not being thorough enough with checking the online Doc's, next time I will try and make sure I didn't miss anything.

Thanks again,
