[vox-tech] Not able to log into root.

[Peter Jay Salzman]

hi rusty,

off the top of my head, i would say that your su needs to be setuid
root and it's not.  you should have a permission of 4755 (rwsr-xr-x) on
su.

to verify this, i went to google groups:

	http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search

in "with all of the words" i typed:

	su "cannot set groups"

the first item reads:

	su problem: su: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted

i click on it, then click on complete thread.  here's the URL:

	http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&th=4dec5a92aba3e0&rnum=1

it looks like all the responses to this question point to the permission
problem.   :-)

hth,
pete
