-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Jude, Of course use of ls -l will always show you this information. If you want to list all of the setuid binaries on your system that are owned by root, (these are dangerous), then try this: find / -perm +4000 --user root And to find sgid root binaries: find / -perm +2000 -group root - -- It's not one damn thing after another, it's the same damn thing over and over.
