The reason that df is setuid is so that it can read device special
files for the filesystems without making them world-readable.  If
you turn off the setuid bit on df it should fail;  if it doesn't
you've got a security problem.  It *should* be setuid root.  There's
no compelling reason for it not to be, and plenty of reasons why it
should.
