I didn't commit since I recieved the utmp_update warning.
But now I realize the difference. The new package (204) installs xterm
without setuid privilege.
The difference is the install step:
- $(SHELL) $(srcdir)/sinstall.sh "$(INSTALL_PROGRAM)" xterm$x
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm $(BINDIR)/$(binary_xterm)
+ $(SHELL) $(srcdir)/sinstall.sh "$(INSTALL_PROGRAM)" xterm$x
/usr/pkg/bin/xterm $(BINDIR)/$(binary_xterm)
This sinstall.sh check field 3 to see if previously-installed xterm was
installed setuid.
So this behaves different based on what is installed.
Since this uses configure script, we can use --enable-setuid.
What platforms do we want this for?
