Yes, the sudo program is running "setuid aries". The third and fourth fields in the output of `ls' are the owner and group of the file, respectively. A program with the setuid bit set (shown as an `s' in the first field) will run with the privileges of the program file's owner. So the owner of /usr/bin/sudo must be root for "setuid root" to work. To change this back to correct settings, use: chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo with root privileges (such as when running in recovery mode.)
