+14.2 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.
