I booted my Compaq Syspro 386 with an emergency boot floppy and
tried to remove a directory both with rm an with rmdir. However,
I get the error message:

 	rmdir:  setuid(2) failed, Not owner

Can anybody tell me what the problem is?

-rwx--x--x	bin	bin	rm
-rws--x--x	root	sys	rmdir

id tells me that I am really and effectively root (0).
