If you let normal users use cron.. you'll need this. crontab is only used
to edit crons... not to start cron jobs. crond runs jobs, and it runs as
root.
> /usr/bin/at #left as is, need suggestion
Same as above
> /usr/bin/passwd #left as is, need suggestion
If you allow regular users to change their own password, then you'll need
to leave this.
> /usr/bin/suidperl #left as is, need suggestion
I don't know what this is... but it just sounds bad.
> /usr/bin/sperl5.00503 #left as is, need suggestion
This probably has somethign to do with suidperl.
> /usr/bin/lockfile #left as is, need suggestion
Sempahore file generator probably used by procmail. You probably use
procmail as your local delivery agent... leave this.
> /usr/bin/procmail #left as is, need suggestion
Leave this.
> /usr/bin/chfn #left as is, need suggestion
I don't think anyone actually uses chfn anymore :). (change finger info)
> /usr/bin/chsh #left as is, need suggestion
change shell.... probably safe here.
> /usr/local/bin/sudo #left as is, need suggestion
If you don't use sudo... you should remove the sudo package.
rpm -q -a | grep -i sudo
rpm -e packagename
> /usr/sbin/utempter #left as is, need suggestion
I don't know what this is
> /usr/libexec/pt_chown #left as is, need suggestion
don't know
> /bin/su #left as is, need suggestion
Leave this.
> /bin/ping #chmod 711
Normal users won't be able to ping if this is not setuid.
> /sbin/pwdb_chkpwd #left as is, need suggestion
> /sbin/unix_chkpwd #left as is, need suggestion
