Check your date/time.  I ran into the same issue with a invalid
date/time.

The issue here is that you can't set the date/time without root... 

Hope this helps,
Kyle

Don't have any idea why or how to fix it, but suddenly sudo and su both
give "authentication failed" error.  System/Root Terminal still works
and User/Groups still shows I have admin privileges. I am using 8.10 and
ran a security update this morning.
