Howdy, This is sort of weird. I upgraded my kernel to gentoo's 3.2.9. When I rebooted, I noticed some odd issues with permissions. When I try to log into Konsole or some other root access program, I get something like this:
The program 'su' could not be found. Ensure your PATH is set correctly. or Permission denied. Possibly incorrect password, please try again. On some systems, you need to be in a special group (often: wheel) to use this program. This is also really odd permissions: -rws--x--x 1 root root 36680 Mar 16 23:36 su -rws--x--x 1 root root 52416 Mar 16 23:19 umount -rws--x--x 1 root root 42592 Mar 16 23:36 passwd There are a few others but you get the idea of my problem here. Somehow, the permissions seem to be off a bit. I have re-emerged the packages that own these files, no change. I have googled but only found old issues with this. I have not changed or even touched fstab in a good long while. I have not added or changed permissions regarding my user either. It seems some update has caused this but if re-emerging the package doesn't fix it, then what? I am in the wheel group. I'm also in the tty group. I rebooted to my previous kernel, thought maybe it was a config issue or something, no change. This was working a few days ago. Also, when I am in a console, I can log in as a user but can't su - to root. I can log in as root directly tho tho. So switching from user to root using su is out even in console. I have a new unbooted install on a separate drive, it has the same odd permissions on it. Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.
