If I'm logged in as an administrators member and then in a console type:

su guest

I get the error

su: Cannot set group id: Invalid argument

I'm trying to switch to another effective user ID with no password in
the same way as has been exploited for anonymous ftp
(as described in the article: inetutils-1.3.2.README).

How do I switch my effective user ID to another user without a password.
