findsuid \- find changes in setuid and setgid files

SYNOPSIS
.sp
.ul
findsuid
.sp
DESCRIPTION
.PP
Findsuid is a shell script intended to be run periodically by
.ul
cron (8)
in order to spot changes in files with the suid or sgid bits set.
.PP
.ul
Findsuid
uses 
.ul
find (1)
to search system directories for all files with the 4000 or 2000 permission
bits set.  It then compares these files with the contents of a ``stop file''
(by default
.ul
suid.stop
) containing
.ul
\*Qls -lga\*U
output for known setuid or setgid programs.  In addition, it flags any
setuid or setgid programs that are shell scripts.
Any additions or changes to this list represent potential security
problems, so they are reported by mail to system administrators for further
investigation.
.sp
FILES
.sp
.nf
suid.stop	the ``stop file''
.fi

SEE ALSO
.sp
find(1), chmod(1), cron(8)
.sp
BUGS
.sp
The location of the stop file, the directories to be searched and the
names of users to be informed of changes are all defined by shell variables
in the source.
.PP
Keeping the stop files up to date with changes to all
the suid files on more than a couple of hosts is a royal pain!
