Matthew, INTERACTIVE is necessary if the setuid option is to be enabled. If gone is configured by root, then configure prompts for user input. I don't want to force a suid binary on an unsuspecting system. While there are no security holes I've noticed, I'd like sysadmins to have the choice of making gone suid. If they choose to suid it, then they have an added feature, if not, that feature is quelled. As for your other suggestions, thank you, I will get portlint.
