15.2 BSD issues

From 3a258ad5cdd98c5705af6c02ba91993b3d382adc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:23:41 -0500 Subject: Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98 directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin repository. --- doc/mailman-install/bsd-issues.html | 114 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 114 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/mailman-install/bsd-issues.html (limited to 'doc/mailman-install/bsd-issues.html') diff --git a/doc/mailman-install/bsd-issues.html b/doc/mailman-install/bsd-issues.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..932283e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-install/bsd-issues.html @@ -0,0 +1,114 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +15.2 BSD issues + + + + + +

+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 Unixes, +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, after you've run +configure: + +

+    % make DIRSETGID=: install
+

+ +

+This disables the chmod g+s command on installed directories. + +
