Perhaps it's time to add a make.conf variable like SECURE_SUID_ROOT (or something) and have *all* but the most essential suid binaries conditionalize their installation modes from its setting. Turn it on or off by default, I don't really care, just make it easier to have things like suidperl without actually mucking with sources. I have to agree with John that this latest action was somewhat over-zealous and the only reason I didn't object when I saw it being discussed was that it was a long thread and I pretty much delete those on sight now. :-| - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
