Who says these settings are a security problem?

Dean, I am the original poster. Here is some of the original post:

I started reading and following the checks, and ended up stumped after the first check. Seems I have some files which have an incorrect set of permissions. The following files have -rwsr-xr-x set. Could someone on a RaQ3 enter the command "find / -user root -perm -4000 -print" and tell me if you are getting the same output? If these files have incorrect permissions, then what should the command be to change them to the correct permission?

Thank you for your feedback!
