hmm ok
it may be desirable to make these programs default to being
non-executable by the world, and some group ("pppslip" i dunno),
and to at least limit the damage these cause. while it would
affect me, i think i'm happy to be affected :-)
i also really think we should remove the set-id bit on /bin/df.
any one object to this?
