su will su only to root



Hi,

Does anyone know why su on my machine will su to root fine, yet will not su to any other id. It'll prompt for the password and return but whoami or id shows that I'm running with the original id. Even if I'm root I can't su to any other id!
Does PAM has anything to do with it?  TIA,
