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
