Good Morning,

I did an update from a clean install (running Mandrake linux8.0) and this is 
what I got back the next morning. 

Security Warning: Change in Suid Root files found : 
                - Added suid root files : /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth 
 
Security Warning: Changes in Suid Group files found : 
                - Added suid group files : /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth 
                - Removed suid group files : /usr/bin/gpg 
 
Security Warning: the md5 checksum for one of your SUID files has changed, 
        maybe an intruder modified one of these suid binary in order to put in a 
backdoor... 
                - Checksum changed files : /usr/bin/crontab 
                - Checksum changed files : /usr/bin/gpg 
                - Checksum changed files : /usr/bin/procmail 
                - Checksum changed files : /usr/bin/ssh 
                - Checksum changed files : /usr/bin/sudo 
                - Checksum changed files : /usr/libexec/pt_chown 
                - Checksum changed files : /usr/sbin/pppd

Question, what are some of the reasons besides the obvious (being rooted or 
backdoor setup) I would get this and  how do I correct this problem with 
reloading the whole system AGAIN if possible. This is the Fifth time I've got 
this message and I'm using Mandrake update, I thought Mandrake update 
checked for these types of problems.

I live in Japan, using a dial-up connection, could this be a problem?? just 
asking.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL and thank you for your help.

Sincerly,
