- Ok, I've figure out the major problem with why somethings aren't
- working, namely: login, finger, w, and several others. It's that the SLS
- install didn't correctly setup the SUID (set user id bit) on the programs
- that needed it. I couldn't even change my password until i'd done a
- "chmod 4711 passwd" as root in the /usr/bin dir. Now my question:
- Can someone tell me the programs that need the SUID bit set? Something
- like the output of a find looking for 4711? I need dir's too.
- Thanks!
