Hello Jude,
Of course use of ls -l will always show you this information. If you
want to list all of the setuid binaries on your system that are owned by
root, (these are dangerous), then try this:

find / -perm +4000 --user root

And to find sgid root binaries:

find / -perm +2000 -group root

- --
It's not one damn thing after another, it's the same damn thing over and
over. (History repeats itself)
