Re: setuid diffs curiousity



After updating ARD on my two servers yesterday, I received this in both server's security report:

nixie.smls.org setuid diffs:
10c10
< 2649639 -rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 551732 28 Sep 13:23:24 2004 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/ MacOS/ARDAgent
---
2912088 -rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 531328 12 Oct 09:46:36 2004 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/ MacOS/ARDAgent

Any one have a quick explanation?

Apparently part of the security report generator looks for differences to setuid files, and in this case the file size and modification date have changed.
