    1) can you su or "su - " to root?
    2) is / filled? (assuming root's home is /)
    3) what do you have root's login shell set to? check /etc/passwd. Is it valid shell.
    4) anything funky in root's /.profile (assume root's home is /)
    5) check permissions on / . make sure they are 755.

    Hope that helps.

    What's root's default group? Does it exist? You can see this cross referencing /etc/passwd with /etc/group.

    root:!:0:0::/:/home:/usr/bin/ksh
    relevant entry in /etc/group file
    system:!:0:root,db2inst1

    $ id root
    uid=0(root) gid=0(system) groups=1(staff),2(bin),3(sys),7(security),8(cron),10(a
    udit),102(db2grp1),103(db2fgrp1)

    If that doesn't work, recommendation is to recreate the userid... for root, you will have to go into maintenance mode for that.

    looks as though the entry is corrupt - should be something like

    root:!:0:0:Root Account:/:/usr/bin/ksh

    You have a / and /home defined, try su without the minus and try correcting the password file

    This issue got resolved once we revert the permission to normal.
