- Problem: I'm a user and try to become root after typing the root password su
- fails, and I'm still the same user. From being root # su <user> works fine.
-
- # su
- Passwd:
- su: (null): not found.
- # ls -l /bin/su
- -rwsr-xr-- 1 root users 1972 Jun 29 06:21 /bin/su

- Problem: I'm a user and make fails (there's a Makefile in the directory). If
- I am root, make works.
-
- # make
- (null): setuid: Not owner. Stop.
- # ls -l /usr/bin/make
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 138114 Aug 30 1991 /usr/bin/make
-
- After changing make's rights:
-
- # make
- (null): setgid: Not owner. Stop.
- # ls -l /usr/bin/make
- -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 138114 Aug 30 1991 /usr/bin/make
-
- Seems that I messed up ID's. I've tried several things.

- Bug: man1.1 leaves the rights -rw-rw-rw- in cat? dirs,
- ^!!!
- I would prefer: -rw-r?-r--
