So has anybody else given 3.1.3 a test run? I have found some minor issues.
It looks like there are new configure options added in regards to setuid and setgid: --enable-debug turn on debugging output and compile options --enable-gexec turn on gexec support (platform-specific) "--enable-setuid=USER turn on setuid support (default setuid=nobody)" "--enable-setgid=GROUP turn on setgid support (default setgid=daemon)" There are 2 issues: - extra quotation marks in the text - --enable-setuid is OFF by default. This is the opposite behaviour from previous released versions On top of that, our spec file has not been updated with this new configure option and therefore the RPMs I posted do *not* setuid. I'm not sure if we should consider this as show stopper, but a simple fix would simply be to change the default configure option so that it reflects the previous behaviour. Please let me know what you guys think.
