It will.  Temporarily, I've just removed the setuid bits, as changing it to
group operator is not feasible - it needs to be setgid tty.
I'll fix it and get it in as soon as 2.1.7 is out the door - until that
happens, I'd rather just focus on security even if it means loosing some
features for a while.
