I normally run several perl scripts suid. Perl5 appears to be broken in 3.0-RELEASE and it won't run anything with the suid bit set. For example: #!/usr/bin/perl print "test\n"; iforget:/usr/tmp> chmod 755 test iforget:/usr/tmp> ./test test iforget:/usr/tmp> chmod 6755 test iforget:/usr/tmp> ./test Can't do setuid Now another machine that still has perl5 installed in /usr/local/bin/perl will run this script happily. I have tested this out and it's not only my 3.0-RELEASE box. 3 different machines work consistantly as described... Any ideas? -Michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
