Hi, I used to maintain these packages. Does the 2.0 version of emwm-utils fix needing SUID root for lock/unlock & suspend/reboot/poweroff functionality? I dropped maintainership due to the development burden of maintaining patches that I couldn't upstream that made it use bsd-auth instead as the ports tree strips SUID root by default.
If this update does not fix it, please consider updating my patches to work in those areas again, as this would be beneficial to users of this port. Thanks.
