On a RaQ2 and up, you have the following line at the top of
/etc/pam.d/su  -->

auth       required     /lib/security/pam_wheel.so group=wheel

This means that your account has to be in the wheel group to
successfully use su.  Yet again, something I don't grok very
well as this is something that could have been done by the
group access permissions to the su binary.  Either add your
administrative accounts (that need to su to root) to the wheel
group or delete this line.

( hint, you can add a user to the wheel group by su'ing to root and
 using 'gpasswd -a <user> wheel' )
