Hi folks,
doesn't pkg_add set the setuid flag when installing packages? I
installed xscreensaver and sudo as packages remotely from
ftp://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc-2004Q4/NetBSD-2.0/i386/
via pkg_add and had to manually set the setuid bit because otherwise
they would complain (sudo wouldn't work, of course, and xscreensaver
couldn't lock the display). Is this normal? I'm using pkg_add from
2.0(-stable).
mkb.
