When was this change put in place?
It hasn't...... I say this since everything works just fine for me on my fully
updated f16 system.
Assuming you have the default LS_COLORS defined when you do "ls /bin/ping" you
should
see it listed in black on a red background.
If not, something has *been* changed.
Now /bin/mount is in white on a red background which indicates the suid bit is
set.
I forget what black on a red background means.
I suppose the easiest way to fix the issue would be to....
yum reinstall iputils
$ alias ls
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
$ ls /bin/ping
/bin/ping
appears in green color on white background. My gnome-terminal's profile is
setup to have a white background.
$ ls -l /bin/ping
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39344 Nov 10 2011 /bin/ping
No suid.
$ lsattr /bin/ping
-------------e- /bin/ping
Should I run relabel when system boots next time?
If you want it to work now, why not run it now?
I personally take a dim view of using colors instead of looking at permissions,
attributes, and capabilities directly. Not only do you have to remember one more
presentation to meaning layer, but many displays do a poor job of presenting
pastel colors on white, so even the names are hard to read.
