a USE option for this doesn't make a lot of sense in my mind .... think |
18 |
about it. USE="suid" could be more like USE="hackmenow" ;) The trend |

with security is to eliminate this sort of thing, not to encourage it. |

21 |
is in order for people that have this concern that they can chmod it if |
22 |
they desire, but I agree that by default that less with these |
23 |
permissions are better. |
