confSBINMODE
Permissions for set-user-id programs Build macro
For the desired set-user-id
behavior to occur, appropriate permissions need to
be set during installation. The default permission
is 4555. If you wish to change this default, you can
do so with the confSBINMODE
macro:
define(`confSBINMODE', `2555') ← not recommended
Be aware that disabling set-user-id like this can cause some actions to fail, such as reading ~/.forward files or writing to the queue.
