I moved a server from one hardware (PC) to another. I did this by installing
a basic RELEASE-4.3 on the target machine (the source was also running
RELEASE-4.3). I did a full level 0 dump of all of the filesystems of the
source machine and did a full restore to the target machine. Everything work
flawlessly, of course I did change the name and IP of the source machine.
The target machine came up just fine.

However, the next day in the daily security check e-mail, I receive a bunch
of these warning:

ns2.avatar.com setuid diffs:
1,86c1,86
<  95239 -r-xr-sr-x  1 root  operator   56892 Apr 21 02:05:46 2001 /bin/df
<  95252 -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     317400 Apr 21 02:13:35 2001 /bin/rcp
< 269831 -r-xr-sr-x  1 root  kmem       62792 Apr 21 02:08:02 2001
/sbin/ccdconfig

I think these means that the dates of programs that have the setuid bit set
has changed since the last check. This is to be expected and I think this is
not something to worry about.

Am I correct in my thinking?

Thanks,
Kory
