chmod u+s /usr/kerberos/bin/ksu
i.e. ksu isn't setuid root, so of course doesn't work.
This is *INCREDIBLY* annoying - EVERY SINGLE ONE of RedHat's kerberos
updates puts the ksu back to 755 permissions, and you lose the ability to
ksu *every* time you update the kerberos RPM.

Subject: Ksu and Operation not permitted
Hi, I have krb5 1.2.2-5 sort of working on a RH 7.0 system.
Everything works except ksu. Ksu works from root (of course) but not from a
normal id.
$ ksu root
ksu: Operation not permitted while selecting the best principal
$ ksu root -n principal
ksu: Operation not permitted while copying cache /tmp/krb5cc_212 to
FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0.1
An ideas? Telnet, rsh, ftp and rcp all work, but not ksu.
