I keep getting hundreds of lines from my daily in security
check because something setuid or setgid is added to the
list which changes the the ls format alignment.
To wit:

160,180c161,181
< -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  bin      12288 Jul  3 01:16:46 1994 /usr/old/usr/bin/quota

All because gmake (setgid) was inserted somewhere near the top.

Instead of fixing this problem, why don't we just replace ls with md5?
I just ran md5 on the 216 files in my /var/log/setuid.today and it only
took 36 seconds.  Not bad.  (ls took less than one second though.)
I guess ownership and permission are important as well.
Maybe using the -ls option in find is the best way.
