Re: Cannot login?

[Carroll Kong <damascus@eden.rutgers.edu>]

	Hey guys.  Big problem... I had freebsd 3.0 sitting around, decided to
mount my linux ext2fs partitions with it.  I umounted it... rebooted back
into linux.  Now I can ONLY login as root.  If I login as myself it says.

"cannot cd /home/damascus"

And.. if I su damascus as root it says

"su:  cannot run /usr/bin/zsh permission denied:"

I was guessing my SUID bits are ripped off, but they are still there, I
think?  The lower case 's' is still there for a lot of binaries.  Is there
any EASY way to restore system functionality aside from backing up and
reinstalling?  Like.. rerunning a particular package or something?  Thanks
in advance guys.  

BTW, I checked most permissions, like /home and /bin/login and
/home/damascus and /usr/bin/zsh.  I even tried su as a different user, but
I get the same permission denied error.  I really do not think this is an
"operator error" in the sense that I do not know anything about
permissions.  (error operator in the sense that I should never have mounted
ext2fs with freebsd. :(  )  

In the end it seems like a permission error, does anyone know what kind of
files are required to do such a thing?
