I was playing around with bash scripting and the last thing I remember doing was checking for suid root files.

However now I cannot launch sbopkg, tpfand etc and the binaries are nowhere to be seen.

I was experimenting with the sticky bit for tpfand so I could load it as a normal user.

However now tpfand is no long in /usr/sbin. But a whereis produces the following results.
The same applies for sbopkg, which I have not touched. I am wondering what I have done here?

I think this problem is also related to the wicd error stating it cannot connect to DBus client

From these symptoms has anybody experienced anything like this before from tinkering?

Thanks!

Ok I found the culprit

oh dear

Solved:

Re-installed:

and

tpfand from source

Back to an apparently working system.
