I've noticed that recently FreeBSD made it so that setuid shell and perl
scripts no longer work, and while I can compile a wrapper for some of the
applications, I'd like to know if there's any way to turn this
"feature" back off.  I'm planning to upgrade my servers from 3.2-R to
4.3-R, and the systems are secure (no users have shell access, other than
admins), but a lot of the web scripting relies on setuid scripts (for
example, scripts that allow our users to modify our radius entries, or our
web-editor, or even our change-your-password-via-the-web interface).

Thanks in Advance, please CC any messages regarding this to me, I'm not
subscribed.
