Je ne dis rien de tel ;) Look at the text: the security measure does not concern executing AppKit as root, it concerns applications having a setuid or setgid bit set. This is plain right. It does not, however, concern Application launched by the superuser, either as root or su/sudo. I never meant I know things better than Apple: I understand the reasons, I don't say they are pointless - in fact I agree with most of them. I just wonder why, since I know at least two or three Unix/BSD/X11 applications that run under superuser privileges, and this has never raised a strong protest amidst security addicts. But I know MacOS is not Unix :) Pas de quoi s'énerver ! ;) Ciao, Vincent _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
