Actually, that's already happening much of the time. Rev 1.33 of src/gnu/usr.bin/man/man/Makefile (2001/01/15, in RELENG_5 and newer) turned off making man setuid by default, so it'll only make catpages when run as root anyway. Me, I solve it for base system manpages by having /usr mounted read-only. 8-} -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
