Root powerless?

[Brooke Landers]

i have a very strange problem with a freebsd server running 5.3-RELEASE with 
apache and mysql. something has happened to root. it does not make sense to 
me since nothing has changed that i am aware of. any idea at all would be 
very hepful. the output below show what is happening. i included the output 
from su since that is also strange. thankyou for any help. Brooke
