how do i do a gradm -a from a regular sys account (not root)

i did a chmod g+x /sbin/gradm so that everyone in root's group can execute gradm
however:
vpolyakov@dev-null:~$ /sbin/gradm -a
Password:
Could not open /proc/sys/kernel/grsecurity/acl
open: Permission denied

any ideas?

You can only run gradm from root, because the interface to the kernel is only writable by root. This is a security measure, and won't ever be changed.
