Well, there isn't. At least i could not spot. > Copied with cp -p of course? To preserve ownership and permissions? No. I toggled as root mkdir /home/thomas/usr mkdir /home/thomas/usr/bin cp /usr/bin/cdrecord-2.01.01a21-hz100 /home/thomas/usr/bin Everything else is provided by the quite fresh and virgin SuSE 9.3 installation. ( / is hda1, /home is hda3.) I will have to check wether the superuser got some "helpful" alias on cp. That could indeed explain half of the weirdness. But not why a binary is reported by ls -l as owned by root but with chmod u+s executes as thomas. That remains out of reason.
