I had that file show up in nightly security checks after I had
updated 'cdrecord'.

: Security Warning: Changes in Suid Group files found :
: - Added suid group files : /usr/bin/cdrecord
:
: Security Warning: the md5 checksum for one of your SUID filSep  9 04:04:33 24 : 
:maybe an intruder modified one of these suid binary in ordeSep  9 04:04:33 24 : - 
:Checksum changed files : /usr/libexec/pt_chown

Since it was at the same time, I simply ignored it.
I have no idea what pt_chown does, or why cdrecord uses it.

Thanks... Dan.
