Are you saying from a root command prompt, you type su <user> and it doesn't
work? If that's the case, I don't remember seeing a setup that would ask for
a password, but it could be a PAM thing or something.

Maybe permissions on the directory? Or some security thing doesn't like the
fact that the .bashrc is writable by everyone? Again, I haven't seen that
but I would check it. I know some things are set to not run if config files
have loose permissions (ssh is one of those).
