I wanted to find out what people thought about how to handle one of the binaries in this package. One of them requires to be suid root. I know that some packages (e.g., cdrecord and man-db) ask the user whether or not to set suid. Is that the recommended approach? -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
