Well, originally, this was my belief. I dislike sgid programs, so I normally just add my users to the appropriate groups (for the ones that need access). Especially for APM stuff.. Is this a good policy? If so, would you (taoka) please commit sysutils/wmbattery without the sgid part? I'm still been waiting for somebody to report a buffer overflow problem on it (kris or somebody said there was probably one or something..). I still think the port is fine as it is right now. -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
