If so, where to? I had one appear on one of my systems awhile back that an ordinary user could use to become root. I think I saved it all as a .tgz archive. I haven't tried it lately. -- Wayne M Barnes stabilizer@klentaq.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
