I'm installing LFS 6.1.1 with package users. It seems that I need to 'chown root /bin/su' (without setting the setuid flag!) after the installation of the shadow package so that root can su to a package user. Otherwise I get "setgid: Operation not permitted"
message. Why is this necessary?
su has to be owned by root AND s flagged
because otherwise you can't switch from an unpriviliged user ...

Aha...Thanks!
