On my 9.1 system: ken@llamedos ~ $ls -l /bin/su /etc/login.* -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 74360 Mar 5 22:10 /bin/su -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2006 Mar 5 22:10 /etc/login.access -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11993 Mar 5 22:10 /etc/login.defs but on tne new build: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 61960 Jun 17 02:01 /bin/su -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2006 Jun 16 23:34 /etc/login.access -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11993 Jun 16 23:34 /etc/login.defs Note that on the new build the program was updated about 2 and a half hours after the other files - that was when I ran 'Stripping Again'.
