> /etc/rc.config and set PERMISSION_SECURITY="paranoid". That way gnuplot warning, warning. permissions.paranoid is not supported by SuSE --- it was contributed by me. It only fixes the problems that SuSE 5.0 had. When I have some time again, I will do the same work with a full install of SuSE 6.0. At least without clear information from SuSE that /etc/permissions.paranoid is uptodate, I would not count on it to be _absolutely_ paranoid. After all, you are supposed to do your homeworks yourself, too :) Also, for it to work, it needs a few things, such as an ``xok'' group, etc, look at the start of that file. > root@laser:/home/andrea# grep gnuplot /etc/permissions.paranoid > # WHY ON HELL was gnuplot suid root !!!!! > /usr/bin/gnuplot root.root 755 I remember my very clean statements about this problem :) The ``reason'', as someone pointed out, is the SVGALib. For me that's a very bad reason to suid --- by default --- an executable.
