[1065a91] | 93 | with SUID set to <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> in the

| 94 | <filename class='directory'>/usr/sbin</filename> directory. This makes it

| 95 | possible for all users to execute <command>traceroute</command>. For absolute

| 96 | security, turn off the SUID bit in <command>traceroute</command>'s file permissions

[2f6a5b0] | 97 | with the command:</para>

[1065a91] | 101 | <para>The risk is that if a security problem such as a buffer overflow was

---|
| 102 | ever found in the <application>Traceroute</application> code, a regular user
|
---|
[2f6a5b0] | 103 | on your system could gain <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
|
---|
[1065a91] | 104 | access if the program is SUID <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>.
|
---|
| 105 | Of course, removing the SUID permission also makes it impossible for users other
|
---|
| 106 | than <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> to utilize
|
---|
| 107 | <command>traceroute</command>, so decide what's right for

[1065a91] | 110 | <para>The goal of BLFS is to be completely FHS compliant, so if you do leave the
