I would say to register it with suidmanager, leave it non-suid by default, and place a notice somewhere that if performance is an issue, it may be made setuid through suidregister. On my K6-200, the CPU time it takes up is pretty negligible, although I understand it may be an issue on lesser machines :) However, since it does not come with source, my opinion is that leaving it suid by default would be irresponsible of us as a distribution, especially since it is not necessary for proper functioning of the program. -Larry -- Larry Daffner | Linux: Unleash the workstation in your PC!
