According to sthaug@nethelp.no: > Yes, but the question stands - why is it setup this way? What is gained > by having binaries (and important directories) owned by bin instead of > root? See the archive of at least hackers & security for many discussions about this. I've patched by bsd.own.mk and mtree/* files to makes everything owned by root.wheel. Nothing is gained IMO by using bin.bin and it is making easier to put a trojan somewhere. Patch available. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #22: Sun Jul 13 22:07:09 CEST 1997
