I am firing up the old machine. (667 MHz and
needs a few minutes of pre-warming before boot)
Beep (is a good sign). Green SuSE jungle. 
I hate Firlefanz at startup.

  # alias ls=ls
  # ls -ld /usr/bin
  drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 32768 2006-11-30 12:23 /usr/bin
  # ls -ld /home/thomas/usr/bin
  drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2006-11-30 11:55 /home/thomas/usr/bin

Hm ... something is weird with the cp command.
The cdrecord binary in /home/thomas/usr/bin is a copy of
the one in /usr/bin. Copy made by the superuser.
The original is shown as owner=root, group=root.
The copy is user=root but group=users !

This is the nightmare of an admin.

No s-bits listed. On both. Oh my ...

I will further explore ownership and group changes on
copying by the superuser. For this evening i am fed
up with weirdness and buzzing disks.

I shall celebrate that this is not a production system.


Have a nice day :)
