hi rusty,
off the top of my head, i would say that your su needs to be setuid
root and it's not. you should have a permission of 4755 (rwsr-xr-x) on
su.
to verify this, i went to google groups:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search
in "with all of the words" i typed:
su "cannot set groups"
the first item reads:
su problem: su: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted
i click on it, then click on complete thread. here's the URL:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&th=4dec5a92aba3e0&rnum=1
it looks like all the responses to this question point to the permission
problem. :-)
hth,
pete
