I don't think that the source requirement is that big a deal given the size of disks today. How widely deployed is suidperl? Like I said before, I'm testing patches to make suidperl, but install it mode 0. Marcel thinks this is a bug, so I'll see how he defends this statement against what is sure to be some pointed questioning. : Well with the current way, someone just doing source upgrades is going : to sit with an ever getting older suidperl. :-) Yes. That's what convinced me that we want to update their suidperl, but set it to mode 0. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
