I can't find this one on my system; is it still there on yours? 8{)

Some of them are very important for all users (sendmail, passwd, ...) ,
many are useful to most users (chfn, man, ...), others you can 'chgrp' the
s/g-id bits away if you run them only as root (at, shutdown, ping, ...).
Some are infrequently used (ipcs, ccdconfig) or only on NIS-managed
netdowns (yp*). If you want to learn more, try trolling man pages before
trolling mailing lists: 8{P

	find / -type f \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -print | \
		awk '{print"man `basename "$1"`"}' | more

I learned almost from doing it as I did *reading* the c library function
list. (echoes of "Wow, I didn't know there was a command/function to do
*that*!"...) Hope this helps - Jy@
