Actually.. How does this sound: cat /usr/bin/suidperl #! /bin/sh echo "suidperl is not installed by default. blah blah danger etc. try:" echo "cp /usr/bin/suidperl.real /usr/bin/suidperl" echo "chmod 6111 /usr/bin/suidperl" exit 1 and install suidperl as /usr/bin/suidperl.real with mode 444. Only install the suidperl wrapper into /usr/bin if it is not already there. That stops POLA by preventing blowing away a real /usr/bin/suidperl. If ENABLE_SUIDPERL is active, then unconditionally install suidperl in /usr/bin/suidperl with the correct modes. > Warner > Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; peter@netplex.com.au "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
