The following programs are setuid or setgid in Solaris 2.3, yet have no
documentation that I can find.  If anyone knows what they do, or has source
and is willing to take a look, I'd appreciate it.

/usr/lib/pt_chmod
/usr/lib/utmp_update
/usr/sbin/mkdevalloc
/usr/sbin/mkdevmaps
/usr/vmsys/bin/chkperm
/usr/openwin/bin/ff.core
/usr/openwin/bin/mkcookie	(I more or less know what this does, but
				have no idea why it is setuid root)

(Someday, my source will come...)
