I have a question. If I set Chomd a+s to /bin/ls then all users should be able to excute ls with the permissions as if they were the owner of ls. The owner of ls is bin. In theory, if I did a Chmod a+s to /bin/ls then any user should be able to have root previlage for viewing and be able to see any file that exists. My question is, how is it they should have root privilage when the bin is the owner? Does the account bin have all the previliges of root?
