Wrong.
from 'strace -f':
[pid 10885] execve("/usr/sbin/userhelper", ["/usr/sbin/userhelper",
"-d", "5,4,2", "-w", "mcc"], [/* 50 vars */]) = 0
<snip>
[pid 10885] write(2, "userhelper must be setuid root\n", 31userhelper
must be setuid root ) = 31
[pid 10885] _exit(6)
The interesting thing is that userhelper *is* suid root.
Sorry for the very inacurrate original post on my part.
Blue skies... Todd
