In Linux versions up to 2.2.7, changing the owner of a file with the s-bit set would turn off the s-bit. With 2.2.10 this behavior is missing:
root@ivory1:~#uname -a Linux ivory1 2.2.10 #1 Tue Jun 15 10:50:41 MEST 1999 i586 unknown root@ivory1:~#/bin/ls -al /usr/bin/passwd -rwsr-xr-x 1 root shadow 32916 May 1 02:23 /usr/bin/passwd root@ivory1:~#chown nobody.nogroup /usr/bin/passwd root@ivory1:~#/bin/ls -al /usr/bin/passwd -rwsr-xr-x 1 nobody nogroup 32916 May 1 02:23 /usr/bin/passwd root@ivory1:~#chown root.shadow /usr/bin/passwd root@ivory1:~#/bin/ls -al /usr/bin/passwd -rwsr-xr-x 1 root shadow 32916 May 1 02:23 /usr/bin/passwd
