It was asked of me if the "schg" flags do much more than get in the way now? Some feel we're really using "schg" mainly to inhibit foot shooting. It doesn't really help security or we would set it on more libraries than libc.so.* and a couple of crypto shared libraries. So the question is do we want to keep my change? If so, shouldn't we use "schg" in a *lot* more places? Otherwise it's use is nebulous -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
