The original problem was that su wouldn't, with a message of either:
su: setgid: Not owner
or:
setgroups: Not owner
su: initgroups failed
With my hat off to the folks who responded (see below) the solution was to reset
the permissions of the su command to:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root 6968 Oct 23 1991 /usr/bin/su
as it should have been, and was previously.
I guess I'm not back up to speed, vacation's seem to turn my brain to mush, as I
hadn't thought to check the permissions before I turned to the list for help.
Anyway, many thanks to:
