(This option did not exist in older unix systems.) not unless thats some new default - I even went into kern_exec.c and commented out the if statement which disables suid if the process is traced or mounted nosuid and it didnt help. I note also that if you drop a program into the general path (ie /usr/local/bin) the user doesnt see it till they log out and back in. Im wondering if it isnt a mmap issue.
