Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2015-07-09 16:14:58 UTC 
mail-client/mailx-support:0 -r-s--x--x root:root /usr/libexec/lockspool
mail-client/mailx-support:0 -r--r--r-- root:root /usr/share/man/man1/lockspool.1.lz

While u-w could make some sense if lockspool used dedicated user for setuid but since it gets root access, there's really no point in it.

See the tracker for more complete explanation of issues with files not writeable by owner.
