I've received four helpful replies to my inquiry to this list a few days ago, each unique. In the first, I got a list of one individual's setuid/gid programs that was "reasonably safe". In the second, someone suggested I should check out the Tripwire security package, and get a Tripewire database that has the requested info in it. I have yet to look into this program further, but it sounds promicing. In the third, someone suggested I untar the packages on the cd, and make a list of which files there are setuid/gid. In the fourth, someone suggested that I reinstall everything from scratch, with the knowledge that a security hole could have been placed anywhere once root access is violated. I'm not sure which of these stradegies I'm going to take quite yet, but we'll see. Thanks for the help! -Chris
