[comp.os.minix] Passwd program losing setuid bit

After reading the mail, I checked my own system, which has /usr/bin on the
hard disk.  Sure enough, the setuid bit had been cleared -- apparently when
it was copied to the harddisk.  I believe that I used cpdir for that, by
the way.

Chmod cleared it right up, of course.  Interesting!!
