The following investigation yielded: The s-bits of /sbin/ps, /sbin/su and /bin/mail had disappeared.
Last time I saw this was on a SunOS 4 machine. I suspect that one of the people with root access did an rcp and instead of ~/bin typed ~bin or just /bin but noone admitted having done so :-) ObBug: On some platforms tip will follow symlinks when reading ~/.tiprc, so 'tip -v' can be used to read non-comment lines in uucp files like /etc/uucp/Systems (which means any local user can get the uucp passwords for machines you call).
