What's a command that I can use to find all suid binaries that are on my
system?
Obviously 'find' will do it, but I'm not sure what set of flags to stick in
there.
I tried `find / -perm +7000`, is that the right kind of thing? The 7000 was a
guess, I've never really worked out how the bits in that 4th digit are
supposed to go.
On the same subject, how can I know whether a suid binary I find is supposed
to be suid? For example, why on *earth* is 'ping' suid? Is it supposed to
be? How about 'gnuplot'? How can that possibly need to be suid?

Last question... I think it was Mandrake that I was using when I noticed that
the 'ls' command printed suid binaries in a nice obvious red colour, at least
when you were root. Does anyone know how I could turn that feature on? It
seems like a nice idea.
Thanks,
Tom
