Thanks for checking. With those two exceptions, it's clear I can't apply the patch as-is. And making who look at e.g., the installed write binary to see what group it is set-GID-to doesn't sound any better. Nor is it practical/desirable to install who as a set-GID binary (how do you reliably determine what group ID to use?) It's starting to look like the cost/benefit ratio is too high, so I don't expect to spend time on this. However, if someone can propose a portable and reliable test for that attribute, I'll be happy to consider it. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
