When was this change put in place?
It hasn't...... I say this since everything works just fine for me on my fully
updated f16 system.
Assuming you have the default LS_COLORS defined when you do "ls /bin/ping" you
should
see it listed in black on a red background.
If not, something has *been* changed.
Now /bin/mount is in white on a red background which indicates the suid bit is set.
I forget what black on a red background means.
I suppose the easiest way to fix the issue would be to....
yum reinstall iputils
