This is WRONG and should not have been allowed onto the site.
This hint is WRONG. Apple have not, and will not ever disable SUID/SGID on OS X, they have simply disabled SUID scripts, like almost every other Unix in existence.

I don't agree. It is true that Linux doesn't allow suid on scripts, but many versions of *nix do allow it, for example Solaris & FreeBSD. The reason the hint is valid in my opinion is that Apple snuck in a rather surprising change to the kernel (the addition of kern.sugid_scripts with a default of 0) without announcing it (or if it was announced, no one here saw it). Now that I am aware of the issue, when various scripts I have in various places stop working, I'll know why & what to do about it.
This is WRONG and should not have been allowed onto the site.
Amazingly enough, I find it impossible to (a) know everything about everything, (b) have enough time to research 100% of those things that I don't know about, (c) keep everyone happy all of the time. |
