Wow, it took me five minutes to find this thread!!
DON'T CHANGE THE PERMS UNLESS YOU ARE SURE THAT THEY ARE THE freeVSD
PATCHED BINARIES.
Have you got +suid versions of these binaries in the /bin directory?
The locations of various binaries changed from 6.x to 7.x and we are
still finding out which ones. If you `rpm -qpl` the various
/usr/local/src/freevsd/pkgs/*.rpm files, this will tell you where the
freeVSD patched versions have gone. You may find that you'll need to
modify the freevsd.conf file to make sure that the un-patched versions
are removed from the various dirs, so that the patched one take
presedence.
Hope this helps,
Damion.
