When I su froma terminal in X, I get this error message
su
Password:
File size limit exceeded

I can su when not in X however...

I first noticed the problem after I tried downloading the debian iso.
I was unable to download the full thing, not because of a lack of hdd
space, but rather, some other problem

Here is the line that gets appended to my /var/log/loginlog
Date/Time Host su(pam_unix)[2106]: Session opened for user root[501]

I think this message also comes up in a few other logs as well.

I've had different problems with su under X and just switched to using
Sux and it solved all my problems. You might try it.
