On three (working fine) machines, here, I see: $ ll /bin/su -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 59740 Jul 26 01:09 /bin/su While the permissions and onwership changes are worrying, I wonder about the file size differences. I see that "su" is from coreutils, and I have: coreutils-5.2.1-48.1 Is everyone using the same package? -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
