Ferdinand, You are creating maintenance headaches for yourself if you edit permissions.paranoid because it will revert next time you do an upgrade. The clean solution is to edit /etc/permissions.local as these permissions are applied after the paranoid ones. Also read the comments at the start of /etc/permissions.paranoid.

the paranoid selection will make su available only to root. You have to change /etc/permissions.paranoid so that /bin/su will be something other than 600. <snip> Thanks for the incredibly fast and competent answers. Editing /etc/permissions.paranoid to add the suid bit worked. The first answer to my question also adressed this issue.
Thanks, Ferdinand
