I haven't been able to find another machine for which this is true. On
all the other Athena 9.2 machines I can find, netstat is correctly
setgid to the sys group.
Additionally, there's something else odd going on, because the netstat
binary you showed off:
>> --> ls -l /usr/bin/netstat
>> -r-xr-sr-x 1 root adm 55184 Nov 9 2002 /usr/bin/netstat
has the size and timestamp of the one of the 9.1 packs, not the 9.2
packs:
[zacheiss@brad-majors] ~$ ls -l /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/sun4x_58/os-9.1/usr/bin/netstat /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/sun4x_59/os/usr/bin/netstat
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root sys 55184 Nov 9 2002 /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/sun4x_58/os-9.1/usr/bin/netstat
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root sys 61912 May 23 2002 /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/sun4x_59/os/usr/bin/netstat
which makes me suspect there was a problem in the 9.1 -> 9.2 update on
just that machine, but since the update.log for that update is long
gone, I suspect we won't be able to know for sure.
If no one else can find a machine that also has this problem, I'd
recommend reinstalling.
