Hi all,

As I wanted to give 0777 permission for /home/test directory, I want to

execute "chmod -R 0777 /home/test", but I mistakenly executed "chmod -R

0777 /". Due to this entire file system permission got changed to 0777.
I am using Debian Linux 2.6.12


Now I am not able to execute su, which gives me error as "setgid:
Operation not permitted". It seems to be I have created a serious
problem. Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?

Try to login as root, rather than su to it....
the processes already running do still have their
permissions.

I am not able to login as root also. I am getting an error Invalid
Login while trying to login as root.

Go to single user mode, if you can.
