On a system restore from a tar archive sudo won't work. Says

How does that s bit get set?

man chmod, paragraph 2

The error message is about an suid bit while the man page talks about
setuid, trying it works. Not a clear extension over the old 777.

# chmod 4755 /bin/su
# chmod 4111 /bin/sudo

The suid (setuid), sgid (setgid), and sticky bit are an additional
3 binary bits above the owners permissions.  4=suid, 2=sgid, 1=sticky
