My apologies for sending an off topic question, but I don't know of any
other mailing list that would be better suited to this topic (if you know of
one, please let me know). We have a product here, BMC Patrol (kind of a
system and process monitor), which the vendor insists can only run as root
and that there is no security problem, and never has had a security problem
if properly configured, and will not support this product if not run as root
(yeah I know it starts as id "patrol", but the executable is suid root).
Have there been security problems with this package in the past?
