Why is this still being installed by 2.2.5? What programs use it? Is there a simple way I can do a make world after a cvsup and not have it installed? J"org posted some instructions to the freebsd.misc newsgroup but I didn't understand them. That's why I say 'simple' ;-) Any possibility 'make world' could be changed to notify the admin that insecure software has been installed and then give the steps needed to remove it? I can do it manually each time, I suppose, but newcomers aren't going to know that suidperl 4.036 isn't secure. later, david -- David Hawkins -- dhawk@river.org http://www.river.org "I write to understand as much as to be understood." -- Elie Wiesel
