I don't know what "rpm -V anonftp" would have done, as I (on somebody
else's suggestion) tried reinstalling from the RPM to see if that fixed
it. Erasing and reinstalling the RPM fixed all of the problems. I wonder
if this is a problem with the install script. BTW, I detected the problem
only because SATAN found it.
The install was done from a local hard disk, as I didn't want to take the
chance with a FTP install. "everything" was selected (600MB partition) for
install. All disks are EIDE. I removed a couple of packages after install,
such as inn and amd, but had made no other significant changes.
This could be an installation problem, could also just be cosmic rays. For
example, once I ftp-installed picasso on 2 machines on the same day, using
the same boot disks, from the same ftp server. One of them had NO setuid
root files whatsoever (i.e. login had problems, as did lpr and company).
