sys bites the dust
The "sys" userid has ceased to exist as an effective entity within the
system.  Formerly, sys owned the kernel sources and some related items
like the include files.  In practice, the protection afforded by this
scheme is of no use to anyone but Murray Hill, and according to Ron Gomes
it is a major nuisance when working as "bin".  All sys-owned and sys-grouped
files have been chowned/chgrped to "bin".
