Its the only automatic way I can think of to turn on suidperl and later turn it back off (easily) when I replace that last suidperl script.

Rod's SUIDPERL_MODE would also be a fine rather than ENABLE_SUIDPERL. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
