I upgraded a box from 4.6 to 4.7 that is not in production yet. This was
my first time upgrading via CVS and make world and everything appeared to
go smoothly with no issues.

However, the following day I received mail from the daily periodic scripts
Security Run Output:

 Checking setuid files and devices:
 setuid diffs:
 1,50c1,50
 < 11 -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     321100 Oct  8 11:12:48 2002 /bin/rcp
 < 2761 -r-xr-sr-x  1 root  kmem       65944 Oct  9 12:45:20 2002
/sbin/ccdconfig

/sbin/ping6
 [...]

Looking through the 100.chksetuid script, I am guessing that the security
script is warning me that the binaries have changed (as a result of the
source upgrade) and NOT that the permissions have changed or that more
have been added. Am I correct? I don't have a record or snapshot of the
permissions on all the binaries listed in the email to verify.

Thank you.
