That's an interesting question. A couple of ideas: a) I wonder of RWatson's ACL stuff could help here? b) This problem cries for a DMAPI type solution- you could have a daemon that monitors all creats/chmods and retains knowledge of the filenames for all SUID/SGID creats/chmods- this way /etc/security would simply summarize the current list and could be run any time. > /etc/security takes a number of hours to run on my system.
