Yes. So if you resend the patchset, I'd suggest this patch first, the /bin/sh as default one second, setuids ones next... (Btw, do you have a github tree? Reviewing/acking patches is easier on the list, but for actually pushing patches to staging, going from github tree is much nicer) -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
