 |
|
When I emerge links I get the following message:
| Code: | * You had the svga USE flag enabled, but for security reasons
* the links2 binary is NOT setuid by default. In order to
* enable links2 to work in SVGA, please change the permissions
* of /usr/bin/links2 to enable suid. |
How do I change the permissions to enable suid? |

| Code: | | chmod u+s /usr/bin/links2 |
But I'd rather use the framebuffer and emerge links like this:
| Code: | | USE="-svga fbcon" emerge links" |
Then you can use it with the framebuffer device, which is more secure than using it with svgalib and setuid. |

What insecurity does suid introduce?

Yes, black magic doesn't use parentheses.
