I have chosen the Mandrake environemtn bacause of the Progressive nature 
of the OS.  It is a little more Current, and people that have become 
accustomed to the SUSE or RedHat Shops look at Mandrake with their Jaws 
 agapel!  Soon after that, they are all converts.

The background Process that changes the persmissions on files is called 
msec.  After the user selects the Security Level for the envrionment, 
the software will schedule a check of the SUID, GUID files against the 
Standard and LOCAL (user created) list of files.  Yes, I've learned how 
to manage this beast as well, and after becoming accustomed to the 
environment and found that is truely a blessing, and not a curse.

The NICEST thing I've found with Linux (and then I'll get off of my 
Soapbox), is that there is a Linux for all types of Users.  Most of them 
are the same, all have their own modifications that set them apart from 
the crowd.  Getting to know them all is a chore I enjoy the most. 
 Thanks for the tip on Gentoo, I'll look into that as well!.  If you are 
interested in a Truely Graphical environment for your servers, I'd 
HIGHLY Recommend Mandrake, in fact I'm installing 9.1 on a Backup 
Cluster as we speak.

Thanks for your support David!
