Very Computer

We can cd to the directory so we know there's no problem.
We can execute the shell and change to it.

A "truss su - randerso" stops with:
==========================================================
# tail /usr/tmp/truss.lis
poll(0x0003C0B0, 1, 120000)                     = 1
getmsg(4, 0xEFFFE994, 0xEFFFE988, 0xEFFFEA04)   = 0
close(4)                                        = 0
setgroups(4, 0x00031438)                        = 0
setuid(4540)                                    = 0
chdir("/u/randerso")                            Err#13 EACCES
execve("/bin/bash", 0xEFFFFDE0, 0x00023464)     Err#13 EACCES
write(2, " s u :   N o   s h e l l".., 13)      = 13
lseek(0, 0, 1)                                  = 30284
_exit(3)
#
============================================================

That EACCES error appears to be false.
============================================================
# ls -ld /u/randerso /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     other    1661324 May 15 09:25 /bin/bash
drwxr-xr-x 113 randerso users       5632 Jul 13 17:01 /u/randerso
============================================================

Any help and/or insight will be appreciated.

What are the modes of /, /bin, /usr, /usr/bin, /u?

(I'd guess / misses some X bits)
