What is the full story on this for FreeBSD? I see that sperl/suidperl is installed both as part of the standard system and in the Perl 5 add-on packages. As I understand it, it is only used to try to work around some kernel race condition involving setuid and setgid scripts. Do we have that problem? Do we even need the sperl/suidperl pieces? Even though FreeBSD has been represented other CERT announcements, and even though Linux was still represented in this one, FreeBSD was not. Please include my e-mail address in your reply, as I do not subscribe to this list. John Lind, Starfire Consulting Services E-mail: john@starfire.MN.ORG USnail: PO Box 17247, Mpls MN 55417
