Message-ID: <20000803074228.A1682@curry.mchp.siemens.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org As the subject says: What functionality will I lose when ssh in 4.1-STABLE is not setuid root anymore? The reason for asking is that I want to socksify ssh on the fly with runsocks. I removed the setuid root mode and it seems to work. Since I assume that no program is suid root without reason, can someone please enlighten me what I will lose now?
