Thanks to Charles Ballowe and Mandell Degerness for their responses.
They were definitely on the right track! It turns out that I'd
inadvertently changed the suid bit on /usr/bin/su while restoring some
files. Chmod u+s /usr/bin/su did the trick.

The system just outputs a newline. I don't see nay entries in the logs rejecting the su. I recently applied the duv40fb18as0007-20020102 patch to my Tru64 4.0f system. Could that have enabled some security feature I'm unaware of? My user account is a member of the system and sysadmin groups.
