Why are the following binaries suid by default then?

-rws--s--x 1 ifmail dialer 204730 Jul 24 16:31 ifcico
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail dialer 51271 Jul 24 16:31 ifindex
-rws--x--x 2 ifmail dialer 101495 Jul 24 16:31 ifmail
-rws--x--x 2 ifmail dialer 101495 Jul 24 16:31 ifnews
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail dialer 51226 Jul 24 16:31 ifroute
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail dialer 41553 Jul 24 16:31 ifstat
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail dialer 36939 Jul 24 16:31 nlpatch

I only set the sgid on ifcico, all the rest are defaults.
