Re: need a tutorial on setuid

[Michael Milliman <michael.e.milliman@gmail.com>]

I can't see how dd could have been the culprit. dd is a block for block copy and does not modify the data as it copies. I don't doubt that the setup bits were changed, but I would suggest that you look for what really changed those bits to prevent a future occurrence.

Greetings all;

The man page for chmod has obviously been edited to remove all useful
information.

My reason asking is it appears that dd, when making a clone of an sd
card, seems to have removed all setuid info from the executable files.
So I'm apparently going to have to restore things as the lack is
discovered.

Thanks

Cheers, Gene Heskett
