A few weeks ago, there was a brief thread re a change in a pkg
which stopped 'su' from working. It didn't affect my desktop system,
so I didn't pay much attention, but it's just hit my netbook.
Can anyone remind me what I need to do to restore it ?

You probably updated your system after a long time and forgot to run
etc-update.
There was a major PAM update recently (I guess more than 1.5 months)
which required changes in /etc/pam.d.
