FreeBSD has "suidperl == chmod 000 /usr/bin/suidperl) as the first entry. :) I *could* be wrong, but if I'm not could someone please at least look at disabling setuid perl until the latest 5.00x version enters the source tree? I love telling people how "secure" FreeBSD is .. then this comes along. :-) Cya, Adrian.
