According to Jan B. Koum: > nosuid Do not allow set-user-identifier or > set-group-identifier bits to take effect.

As I saif to Jan on freebsd-security, I submitted a patch to perl5-porters before 5.004_04 but it was not included in the mainstream Perl because 1. it was too close to release and 2. it was FreeBSD-specific. The fix to this bug/feature has been incorporated in FreeBSD's perl5 port and in the /usr/src/contrib-uted version of Perl since before 2.2.7 so FreeBSD users neeed not to worry about that. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- Eurocontrol EEC/TS -=- Ollivier.Robertat_private The Postman hits!
