I have a 7.2 box where root cannot log in.  Normal users used to
authenticate correctly, but I had been messing around with PAM trying to
fix root's problem, and now they can't either.

I can boot single user mode and change passwords, but if I su to a normal
user and try to su back to root, it will not accept the password.

I would think root logging into the console would only depend on the
existence of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (which are 0644 and 600,
respectively).  What else does it consult?  I've reinstalled the PAM RPMs,
but it didn't help.  I've tried stracing /bin/login, but that was, um,
counterproductive (but lots of fun). 

Any ideas?
