When I do 

C-x C-f /su::/etc/vpnc/default.conf RET and give my password 

I get the errors below.  Why is that?

*Messages* buffeer

tramp: Opening connection for `<root>' using `su'...
tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell
tramp: Waiting 60s for prompt from remote shell
tramp: Sending password
tramp-process-actions: Login failed

*tramp/su * buffer:

su: Authentication failure

Process *tramp/su * exited abnormally with code 1
