Re: [cobalt-users] su - root (impossible)

["Michel Assongou" <michel.assongou@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is clearly my problem:

I get connected on my cobalt raq3 as admin and when i wanted to become root
with this command : [admin@www src]$ su - [enter]
 i receive this error messge: su: cannot set groups: Operation not permitted

I check the /bin/su file permission and i have this : rwxrwxrwx rather than
rwsr-xr-x.

The problem is that i can't change anything because to do it i have to be
root.

Any help would be more appreciate.
