IMAP-UW Security question

2005-12-13 Thread Jose Borquez 
Just recently installed IMAP-UW through ports and once the install 
finished I got the following security message:


SECURITY REPORT:
 This port has installed the following binaries which execute with
 increased privileges.
/usr/local/libexec/mlock

What can I do to minimize this security risk?  Do I create an mlock user?

Thanks in advance,
Jose

In fact, every port that installs a suid-binary will show this warning.
Creating a user won't help, mlock will run as root (that is what it's
about). Just keep the port up-to-date and it's ok.
