I think I have found one of the things which have troubled us in the 
install procedure, and would like to hear people opinions:

In a cpio file I have:
	file usr/bin/passwd (root,bin, setuid+0555)
	symlink usr/bin/yppasswd (bin,bin,0755) -> passwd

Now, cpio will do a chown(bin) on usr/bin/yppasswd, and this will
make usr/bin/passwd owned by bin instead of root.

Obviously wrong.

How to fix this ?

Who will do it for me ?
