I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: MON FEB 23 29:45:55 GMT 2004
I just recently posted about a problem I was having logging into my computer. I eventually was able to log in. I deleted the existing user and subsequently recreated the user. I also had to delete the group as well to complete the operation.
However, although I can access my system, the following error message appears when I do an su command.
This is the error message:
Mar 4 15:52:42 BudMan su: _secure_path: /usr/home/ges/.login_conf is not owed by root
The following error message likes to pop up at various times also:
Mar 4 15:55:01 BudMan cron[541]: _secure_path: /usr/home/ges/.login_conf is not owned by root
The time and date obviously change upon each new occurrence of the message, as well as the number following 'cron'.
I have read the man on "_secure_path" but I have no idea what I am supposed to do to correct this problem. Even more mysterious is that this problem and several others only surfaced after installing KDE 3.2.
I welcome any assistance someone can afford me,
Thanks!

Recently I had similar problem, not with root though. I reinstalled FreeBSD (without removing /home) and then added users. Obviously uids changed and I was getting those messages:
/home/user/.login_conf is not owned by uid 1002 (for example)
All I needed to do was 'chmod -R user:user /home/user/*' (recursive) Note: check man chmod, I'm not sure if that's good syntax
Check the owner of that file. I'm not sure why do you get 'is not owned by *root*' but maybe it's similar problem.
Hope that helps
