When you have 10 terminals sometimes you did not pay enough attention are you root or not Also you may want only to "read" what is the last configuration of a port using: make config (not configure!) and for this you do not have to be root( see permitions of /var/db/ports/) Also it's a nice feature in FreeBSD ports, so I really do not know why not to use it, as it's a feature, but not a bug. Anyway why or why not does not matter. The only think that matter is that doing this trigger the bug in "su". Bug that does not exist in 6.2-STABLE or before, and normally bugs are exploited by users that are not root. P.S. /usr/ports/Mk/ look for SU_CMD :) -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177Received on Thu Oct 18 2007 - 10:04:57 UTC
