You're right :)
That wasn't what happened in my case. I could use su, it just wouldn't let
me su to

What did you do with etc-update? If you updated things like /etc/group or /etc/passwd
then you will have a problem.

As someone pointed out to me earlier, you have to be part of the wheel
group to su. You might want to check that, although I don't see how the
command below removed you from the wheel group.

Ok, I have no idea what happened here, but
Read the man of usermod, the -G flag is used to SET (not append) all
additional groups for a user. So as you didn't specify wheel in the -G
flag wheel was removed even though you were originally a member of
wheel.
I did an `su` and logged in as root, emerged some stuff, and did a
`usermod -G
Man group points out that the -G option will add you to
that group but remove you from all others you might be a
member of.

Thanks. I should have worded my reply I don't know if rather than I don't
see how. Plus I should check replies before I bother. :) Sorry all.

Are you still part of the wheel group - you should be.

you bumped yourself from the 'wheel' group and replaced with 'games'. You need to run with '-g' option instead of '-G'.
