I accidentally used "chmod 777 */*/*" at / directory (at least I think that is the cause) and now I can no longer use sudo or su.

Code:
su
Salasana: (Password)
setgid: Toiminto ei ole sallittu
Translation: setgid: Action is not allowed.

Code:
sudo
sudo: todellinen käyttäjätunniste ei ole 0, onko sudo asennettu setuid root -käyttöoikeuksilla?
Translation: sudo: real user identifier is not 0

How do I fix this?

Hello,

Are your user in the "wheel" group (for su) or in the "sudoers" file (for sudo) ?

Yes, both. I have been using sudo and su without problems for months.

Some more information. This is a desktop computer running KDE. I was executing the aforementioned command in root console window when I noticed it was running in a wrong directory, so I closed the window. When I opened another console window, this problem appeared. Restarting the computer does not work.

I found the solution: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/476
Code:
chmod 4755 /bin/su /usr/bin/sudo
