Many thanks to all those who replied.  That did the trick.

Jeez I didn't know about the s flag (Set user or group ID) in permissions.  
It was a simple matter of a quick look at "Linux in a Nutshell" and

#  chmod 4755 /bin/su

and all is well again  : ) .  After searching thru so many different mailing 
list archives and various articles on the net the good ol' faithful Mandrake 
Newbie list comes up trumps again! Thanks.

Cheers
