Since I've been looking at setuid's on FBSD, my primary concern's : been with the ports. I wished there could be some way to have a : variable in the Makefiles that say "NOSETUID=YES". :)) I like this, at least for PORTS. Better still would be to go through the ports and figure out if there is a lesser priv that could be granted. Right now the in tree games are setgid games, iirc, just for the high score stuff. Maybe it would be a good idea to continue this with the ports. You'd have to include a high score file in the package to make sure that normal users can't access them. : We should make a a definite list of all the setuid's in the whole port : tree. Maybe the port maintainers can give a hand? That would be useful. The ports are the least audited part of the tree.
