Hello, Just wondering what do you need suid perl for? I run a webserver for staff users, and have had no real need for it, and considering removing it. I think it goes to back the days when SA (possibly?) needed it and I just cp'd the make.conf across boxes over the years.. :) it is a security risk having it? Is the risk that if the webserver/webserver-app gets comprimised the user could use perl? Thanks in advance.
