Howdy:

 I broke something on my file server and now I can no longer
'su' (root) remotely.  When I try I get this error:

setgid: Operation not permitted

 Often I logged on remotely and issued

su
cd /hde3                
chmod -R 775 *
chgrp -R users

So that I could 'rw' the files in that directory
from any of my Windows workstations.
OBTW, ("/hde3" is /dev/hde3).

 What might I have done and how do I fix it?

 The system is an old amd-k6-266 running
Slackware-8.0 kernel 2.4.19 configured as a file server
using nfs and samba.

Happy holidays and new year, Chuck
