Hello!

I remember this question being discussed about 1-2 years ago
when a hole in suidperl was discovered, but at the moment
can not find the information.

Question:
  Does anything in FreeBSD 3.x depend on suidperl being suid ?

Would anything break in the system and/or system utilities if
it is stripped off ?


Igor
