setuid diffs...

Hi all,

Late yesterday, I ``cloned'' my single, primary IDE FreeBSD hard disk onto
a larger one. Then, using a Promise ATA IDE RAID controller I built a
RAID-1 array.

Everything went as planned, the box is now back up using the 'ar' driver
for the array. However, in the security run output last night, I got this:

Checking setuid files and devices:

pearl.ibctech.ca setuid diffs:
1,73c1,73
< 106 -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     251444 Jul 16 12:07:10 2004 /bin/rcp <
15904 -r-xr-sr-x  1 root  kmem       66216 Jul 16 12:07:25 2004
/sbin/ccdconfig
< 15949 -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     203992 Jul 16 12:07:28 2004
/sbin/ping

and down further:

- > 1036 -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     251444 Jul 16 12:07:10 2004 /bin/rcp
- > 1292 -r-xr-sr-x  1 root  kmem       66216 Jul 16 12:07:25 2004
/sbin/ccdconfig
- > 1339 -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     203992 Jul 16 12:07:28 2004 /sbin/ping

Did this happen because the files were transferred from one disk to
another and the system knew it? Or should I be concerned of a possible
'coincidental' invasion?

Tks for any help!

Steve
