[colug-432] su broken on ...

[Vincent Herried]

I should have noted that SELinux was disabled in my first post.
I tried the  touch /.autorelabel 
and re-booted... still no joy... no idea what else to try.
Untill something breaks loose... sudo bash works.

No ideas on why the gue for users shows fewer characters than
the password?  hmmm wondering... much of this work was
done from host lap3.vince  ssh desk.vince
nah makes no sense why that would mess it up
