Hi!

I run a mandrake 8.0 box, and tend to check
the security logs (but not everyday).

Yesterday, i got the following set of warnings
in the security log:

Change in Suid Root files found :
- Added suid root files : /bin/linuxconf
- Added suid root files : /bin/mount
- Added suid root files : /bin/ping
- Added suid root files : /bin/su
[etc]
.
.
.

Security Warning: Changes in Suid Group files found :
Added suid group files : /sbin/netreport
Added suid group files : /usr/bin/cdda2wav
Added suid group files : /usr/bin/kdesud
[etc]
.
.
.


the list of each set of files is quite long,
and includes things like ssh, gpg, rsh, rlogin,
suexec etc. but also boring things like man and restorefont

i have not done anything that i can think of, which
would have resulted in these changes, and have never
seen anything like this in the logs before, so
i am a bit worried.  On the other hand, the list
of files seems rather long, and while it includes
important files, it also includes some that are of
little interest to someone trying an exploit.

perhaps mandrake ran some script which made these
changes??

any ideas as to what this might be would be much
appreciated, as right now, i am too paranoid to
even hook my computer to the internet.

Most of my services, like ssh, telnet, ftp, httpd are *always* disabled -
so hack seems unlikely.

thanks, 
Itai.
