I understand the FAQ. It is a KDE FAQ, not a FreeBSD FAQ. It ought to stay a FAQ--- users should make a concious decision to turn this on. The default installation-from-source does not install the set-user-ID bit... but the FreeBSD port (now) does. Please make this an option and default to off. Display a message to the user if you want to reduce the frequency of this particular FAQ. :-) Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine / nectar@celabo.org / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@freebsd.org
