Hi folks,

Is there a particular reason, other than the desire for more setgid
programs, that ifmcstat(8) is setgid kmem?  It seems that there's no
reason anyone but root would want to use it, anyway.  OpenBSD and
NetBSD already nuked its setgid bit; any reason why we shouldn't
follow suit?

Thanks,
