see current "state":
$ ls -ld /bin
drwx------ 3 admins 1001 163840 30. Jul 13:03 /bin
$ ls -lnd /bin
drwx------ 3 544 1001 163840 30. Jul 13:03 /bin
So you're quite right. And I have no permission to chmod the directory ...

I also don't know how the "internet guest account (1001)" could gain group
ownership. Possibly some inherited rights after installation of the personal
web server <shudder>?
OK. After chgrp 755 is assigned.
After reinstallation of findutils:
$ ls -ln /bin/find.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 544 513 78848 20. May 05:39 /bin/find.exe
bash is happy, so am I :)
Still, the basic question is, what caused the settings of the directory? At
least the settings of /bin is an entry for the FAQ.
Other mysteries:
a) Why was only bash infected by the mask settings and none of the other
shells?
b) Why executed bash the command when called directly?
Thanks to all,
Jörg
