chgrp messagebus /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper chmod 4754 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper Will set permissions the way they should be. The result you've achieved can be reproduced with: chgrp root /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper chmod 4654 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper Which will prevent root from executing this binary. So, it *may* cause problems in the future. Also, you're missing correct group membership for the binary in question.
