I am in the process of hardening my cable-modem connected SuSE system. I was searching for root owned Setuid files, and came across hundreds in the /usr/lib/cdb directory. What are these files for exactly? Do they really need to be Setuid?. Thanks, Rob.
No, this was a packaging error. The CDB package is obsolete anyway, you can safely remove it, if you do not need the hardware database. If you need it, just recursively remove the unnecessary suid bits from these files, they are not executable anyway.
