This might be really easy, but I'm missing it.

I've been assigned to SA another system. I added myself to group
system in /etc/group and then try to su from a terminal session and get
this:

my_sys> groups
system <and others>
my_sys> su
Password:
su: cannot set groups: Not owner
my_sys>

This is an alpha running DU 4.0a.

I don't understand what it's trying to set. Can someone point me to the
answer or where to find it please?

Thanks.
