15.2 BSD issues
</h2>
<p>
Vivek Khera writes that some BSDs do nightly security scans for setuid file
changes. setgid directories also come up on the scan when they change. Also,
the setgid bit is not necessary on BSD systems because group ownership is
automatically inherited on files created in directories. On other <span class="Unix">Unix</span>es,
this only happens when the directory has the setgid bit turned on.
<p>
To install without turning on the setgid bit on directories, simply pass in
the <var>DIRSETGID</var> variable to <b class="program">make</b>, after you've run
<b class="program">configure</b>:
<p>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
% make DIRSETGID=: install
</pre></div>
<p>
This disables the <b class="program">chmod g+s</b> command on installed directories.
