I did not take the update, but my Sun is getting the 7.7 Packs.
There are four new error messages coming up in my login console. Two I
cannot explain:

	Can't open /usr/tmp/attachtab.lock: Permission denied
	quota: aborting

And two I can:

	xload: cannot open /dev/kmem

Xload is not suid to be able to read kmem.

	config_console: unable to signal console: Not owner

This one comes from the 'config_console' line I have in my .startup.X
file to read the the console resource from my .Xresourxes file.

config_console is not suid.

----

In addition to sendmail,  config_console and xload are two more set uid
programs that failed to get their bits set.  Perhaps a list of all suid
programs in the 7.7K srvd would help in finding the others.
