Yes, I did. And the screwup wasn't limited to "quota". When I ran
packs/build/build.sh, nothing got installed setuid root . I manually
fixed a few programs, but I obviously missed "quota". Sorry.
The problem seems to be that something in the build procedure sets the
install command to "install -m 755". So setuid programs get installed
with "install -m 755 -m 4755". It seems that install uses the first
-m argument.
I'll fix the build process.
Have a nice day,
Sal.
