No, not directly, but if your `su` uses PAM to authenticate users and
PAM reacts to the spaces in the beginning of the passwd file, it
surely has something to do with PAM. To check whether `su` uses PAM or
not, try "ldd `which su`|grep libpam"

/etc/passwd is not the only place you might want to modify. Think of
rc.local or anything like that.
