did anyone look at the bounced message I posted? Anyone know if the message

imap-4.1.final-1
# ldd /usr/sbin/imapd
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40004000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40031000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)

do these dependecies look correct? I still don't know the difference between 
glibc and ??

I've done this before, but nothing looked too out of place. But to be sure, 
here a few things of interest

I get the following in /dev. I looked up what the G, M, U stand or, but have 
no idea what's correct or not. Why some of the ttys have a different user of 
group I don't know. Could this be the result of being hacked? can someone 
tell me what to change them to? I've annotated the rpm output with the 
filesystem permissions
