yes, they all were. Interestingly, the other program in
/usr/local/bin that lost its suid bit is klock, which I think is the
actual culprit to not being able to log back in. I faced this same problem
myself, and haven't had time to dig into it yet.
If I didn't have so much on my desktop currently running I'd test
it, but you might want to try restoring the suid bit to klock and see if
that helps.
