We present the results of a Chandra observation of the old open cluster M 67; 25 cluster members and 13 suspected members were detected, including 22 binaries. We believe that the X-rays of most systems can be explained by enhanced activity due to rapid rotation in a tidally locked orbit. This cannot be the case for the blue and yellow stragglers with orbital periods between 40 and 5000 d, like the new source S 997. We do not understand the X-rays of these long-period binaries.
