Hi there.

I'm new to this mailing list, so hope that this question is on-topic. If
not please reply directly to my address.

There is any good reason to have the setuid-bit in the xterm and nxterm
programs?

Security questions apart, it's weird to figure what user is owning these
processes. Sometime we must kill all the pending procs of a user because
him x-server crashed (you know, we still use windoze boxes to access our
linux servers), and find what "nxterm" to kill is a loooong task :-)
