please post what happens in the logs when your "su -" command failed.
depending on your distribution you could find that according info in
/var/log/messages,
/var/log/syslog, /var/log/secure, /var/log/auth.log,... or something
else - sorry - don't
know exactly for mandrake....
if u have installed the ssh-daemon - can u run the command "ssh
root@localhost"
and check if the login would succeed?
any special auth mechanism? ldap?
