[cobalt-users] Can't su to root

I was adjusting permissions for a site on my RaQ3 while logged in as
root. I got careless with a wild card and inadvertently changed the
entire /etc directory and /root directory to the user/group for the
site I was working on. Now I am in trouble and can not su to root. I
get the error:
"su: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted" . I have reset the
user/group to admin and I can chown anything higher than admin. I
can't chown anything to root. Any ideas how I can recover to at least
being able to function as root to clean up the mess I made.
