It's a potential security problem. There is a way to disable this, but I'm not sure what the procedure is. I think it's an option in the kernel. Actually, I would like to know a decent solution to this issue. I often need SUID Perl scripts myself, and I don't want to have to disable security features or resort to a C wrapper. -- Milo Hyson CyberLife Labs, LLC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
