some reason or another the su command is no longer working. If I try su, and enter in the correct password, it's returning an error that i entered the incorect password. Also if i run any menu item that needs root privleges the same thing happens. - Any help would be appreaciated.

Is your user still part of the wheel group? Can you login as root from a TTY?

Read the FAQ mate, read the faq. Please make sure the user doing the su is in the wheel group, just like any BSD distribution.

Good luck.
