I have a FBSD 3.0 machine (release) which is used for IRC and as a shell
(SSH) machine. It runs with about 30 +/- users almost all the time
but recently i've noticed a "quirk". I installed IRCD and when i run IRCD
when i'm su'd as root its runs as one of the local users not me nor root.
I checked the uid & gid of both root, myself and the user in question
and saw nothing amiss
permissions on ircd are shown
-rwx------ 1 root wheel 532289 Mar 25 16:22 ircd
i had this same exact problem but more wide spread with a late
2.x release but now it seems that ircd is the only real offending app.
security wise this has got me a bit concerned. anyone have any ideas?
