    HI,
    I am noticing that the su command fails after using yast2 (curses based
    version) to configure security. It appears that the file permissions ->
    paranoid selection breaks su.

    One problem that I easily found is that it changes the permissions for
    /etc/login.defs to 600, which appears to prevent anybody but root to login.

    But even after fixing those perms to 644 I can't use su anymore. I
    can't even su to another regular user. /etc/pam.d/su doesn't appear to
    be the problem.

    Any hints?

    Thanks,
    Ferdinand
