Hello Remco,
With reference to your great message on below,
RvtV> My FreeBSD installation (also using XFree86 3.3.6) sets up like this:
RvtV> lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 May 11 11:01 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> XF86_SVGA
RvtV> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3482353 May 11 11:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
RvtV> -rws--x--x 1 root wheel 7573 May 11 11:01 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper
RvtV> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1652 May 11 11:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
RvtV> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10344 May 11 11:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit
RvtV> As you can see only the "trusted" Xwrapper executable is SUID. But
RvtV> Xwrapper is missing from my Debian potato installation..
On my holy debian:
evil@gateway:/etc/X11$ ls /usr/X11R6/bin/X -l
- -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 7100 May 30 08:22 /usr/X11R6/bin/X
X should be Xwrapper thyself.. :-)
