Should these files be setuid?

A system change monitoring tool I am using flagged these files as having
been changed to setuid. Now this tool often reports false positives, so
I am not assured of this, but I could not find any docs on these files,
either.
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root root 15752 Jul 21 2000 pwdb_chkpwd
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root root 16376 Jul 21 2000 unix_chkpwd
I checked another (older) machine, which had pwdb_chkpwd with the same
permissions, but unix_chkpwd
was not there. There were no man pages, but a find/grep on /usr/doc
showed that pwdb_chkpwd was part of PAM. unix_chkpwd was not found
anywhere.
Any thoughts?
