Today I made a reeeal bad mistake... I accidentally changed permissions on 
the /bin directory instead of a bin subdirectory and now I am unable to su to 
root.  I get "incorrect password".  Well at least I think thats what the 
problem is.

AND I've only just completed a clean reinstall of LM8.1 which has taken days 
to get everything configured (eg. apache, twiki, samba, etc)!  I really don't 
want to reinstall...  Spent hours searching the net for clues, thinking it 
was something to do with basic authentication in apache with .htaccess files  
then remembered my error.  I think it was a "chmod a+x /bin/*".

So can someone pleeease tell me the permissions on /bin/su ?  Hopefully that 
will solve my problem.

Many TIA
