In the output there is one line "(root) /bin/su". I can use "sudo su
otheruser" to swith to other users, but not to root.

One thing may be related.

(root) # su
su: Permission denied

That perhaps means you are already super user. It makes no sense to swith
to root. Is it right? If it is right, the command "sudo su" has the same
problem.
