After installing Shadow from chapter 6.55, switching as root to a new user
with su gave the error:Setgid: Operation not permitted.
I was able to work around this problem by replacing Shadows's su with
su(-tools) from the tools-directory, but I like to know where the problem
comes from. Has it to do with the Package Users system?
Experience tells me that you need to make su setuid in order for it to
work. To do this, run
chown root /bin/su
chmod 4755 /bin/su
