Status in Ubuntu Eee: Confirmed

Bug description:
A lot of permissions seem to have been lost when packaging ubuntu-eee.

The ones i hit:
/dev/fuse -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+bug/266883
unix_chkpwd -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+bug/261497
passwd -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+bug/271111
mount (wrong group, missing SGID)
ping (normal users can't use ping: "ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted")
pppd (normal users can't use pppd despite being in the dip group)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collection of fixes (these modify the permissions to be like on regular ubuntu):

sudo chown root:shadow /sbin/unix_chkpwd
sudo chmod 2755 /sbin/unix_chkpwd
sudo chgrp fuse /dev/fuse
sudo chmod 660 /dev/fuse
sudo chmod u+s /bin/mount
sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/passwd
sudo chmod u+s /bin/ping
sudo chgrp dip /usr/sbin/pppd
sudo chmod u+s,g+x /usr/sbin/pppd
