who should own files in /usr/lib

[mdet]

Hi,
I wonder to which user and group files in /usr/lib should belong to.
The vast majority are owned by root:sys and rootther.
I look at that directory as a source of let's say "system enhancements" or publicly available "services" which can only be used by programs. Therefore it seems clear to me that no user should own any of those enhancements.
Is anybody out there who can shortly explain that to me or give me a hint where to browse at? Furthermore are their any security issues concerning that matter beyond the old SID/GID-problem?

I don't think it matters very much what group you set libraries to (they're usually installed with 755 mode anyway) but the user should be root, so that no one except the superuser can tamper with the libraries.

Mine are installed root:root.


_{I REALLY hope that helps.}
Will
