i like the idea of extending dpkg. but why create a new way, if there is good one. if dpkg would handle /etc/suid.conf, it would do the job. btw : for programs, it's enought to compare /etc/suid.conf against the list of suid files by checksecurity. but it doesn't help with devices. regards, andreas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
