Recently updated and now every time I run "su -" or "su -l" or "su --login", process waits about 3 seconds then says: $ time su --login su: Authentication failure actual 0m3.003s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.003s CPU 0.11% This was working prior to the update but I do not know what changed exactly. My log says glibc was updated as was util-linux.

The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. Did you find this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/446570/why-does-su-fail-with-authentication-error I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

I think this issue is fixed in -r3. Can you sync and try again?
-r3 fixes this.
(In reply to Andrew Udvare from comment #3) > -r3 fixes this. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 622666 ***
