Interesting, it is setuid on my machine (not that it is a particularly
good example of anything, since I do play with the trusted cell list
(but that should have been undone while mkserv was running (don't
ask))), and I don't think I did anything special to it, besdes
synctree it local with mkserv.
Hmmm, an interesting note, that I suspect is a red herring. since
named wasn't running when the update took place mkserv couldn't add
discuss to the passwd file. However, this should be fince, since it
should have already been there.
