They should be -r-sr-xr-x If they aren't, run "chmod a=rx,u+s /usr/bin/su" as root to fix it. You'll probably need to do this directly from the console, since you can't use su :) -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

See the chmod manual page for details and an explanation of the different mode bits.

RE: SU Question
Final question, I notice the rights of "su" on another system were like this "-r-sr-xr-x". What's the rule of setting the option "s" in the permissions. Thanks!

RE: SU Question
HI Dan, I am getting this error message when I try to logon using "su" command through Telnet remotely. All this started when I accidentally changed permissions, since then all permissions have been restored, yet the same error. % su Password: su: setting user context: Operation not permitted Any idea!
