-BSD ISSUES
-
-1. Vivek Khera writes that BSD does nightly security scans for setuid
- file changes. Setgid directories also come up on the scan when
- they change. He says that setgid bit is not necessary on BSD
- systems because group ownership is automatically inherited on files
- created in directories. On other Un*xes, this only happens when
- the directory has the setgid bit turned on.
-
- To install without turning on the setgid bit on directories, simply
- pass in the DIRSETGID variable to make, like so:
-
- % make DIRSETGID=: install
-
- This turns off the chmod g+s on each directory as they are
- installed.
