HEADS UP: ud(1) perms



In past releases, ud(1) was installed with mode 775 not 755.
That is, the ud executable is writable by all members of the
group owning the file, normally wheel or other group with
limited membership.  It is suggested administrators manually
remove the group write permission from the ud executable.

The following demonstrates the commands you may use to
make this change (assuming configure defaults).

  % cd /usr/local/bin
  % ls -l ud
  -rwxrwxr-x  1 root  wheel  149004 Jun 23 16:29 ud*
  % su
  # chmod g-w ud
  # ls -l ud
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  149004 Jun 23 16:29 ud*
  # exit

This problem has been fixed in OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_1_2.
