hi i read FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:01.mksnap_ffs and have question about this workaround: /bin/rm /sbin/mksnap_ffs isn't better to do: /bin/chmod u-s /sbin/mksnap_ffs i think that suid flag is dangerous on this program not program as is and when suid flag is down program is clear for everyone except root if is dangerous program, so erase it isn't good workaround, because every user can compile mksnap_ffs from source but suid flag can give only root thank and bye -- "The ancient Greeks' concept of a ``personal daemon'' was similar to the modern concept of a ``guardian angel'' --- ``eudaemonia'' is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons." [Evi Nemeth]
