I was doing a routine security check on my machine after I observed
some suspicious activity, and I found a file '/usr/bin/under' which is
set up to setuid to root.  I could not find documentation for this file.
Does it belong there?

I also found '/usr/bin/X11/xterm' set up as setuid to root.  Do I lose
any functionality by turning this 'feature' off?

Thanks for any help!
