Subject: [gentoo-user] Blocked access


Hi, List

I find myself blocked when I try to su from a normal user
to root, even if the password is absolutely correct. I guess
this must have something to do with having made some typo when
entering passwords. The username must have been blacklisted 
since then. I looked up man pages of su and suauth to find a 
way to lift the restriction. However, there isn't such a file
"/etc/suauth" in my system. What's the mechanism behind this 
(the su blockage)? What's the correct way to solve my problem?

Thanks & regards
Xinhao
