Hi everyone !

I noticed a strange file corruption on my laptop:

PC-ThS:[~]# ls -l /usr/bin/getopt
crwxrwS-w- 1 9768 10341 41, 243 Feb 27 1991 /usr/bin/getopt
PC-ThS:[~]# rm -rf /usr/bin/getopt
rm: /usr/bin/getopt: Operation not permitted
PC-ThS:[~]#

I am running kernel 2.2.10 on a Pentium 133 MHz with an IDE-disk:

PC-ThS:[~]# ls /proc/ide/ide0/hda
cache geometry model smart_values
capacity identify settings
driver media smart_thresholds
PC-ThS:[~]# cat /proc/ide/ide0/hda/*

I can't tell you when this modification happened. I haven't even seen
anything in the logs.
Do I have to worry about it ? Please, let me know if you need more info.
