Description:   Opened: 2005-09-17 22:00 0000 
the /usr/bin/ct command included with at least net-dialup/mgetty-1.1.30-r2 is
installed suid root (may include other versions). This command does not appear
to actually implement the ct command however, so having this suid root is
unnessasary.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =net-dialup/mgetty-1.1.30-r2
2. ls -l /usr/bin/ct


Actual Results:  
/usr/bin/ct is installed suid root.

Expected Results:  
Installed with sensable permissions.

------- Comment #1 From Alin Năstac 2005-09-21 13:07:48 0000 ------- 
the source code of the ct executable is this:
#include <stdio.h>

#include "mgetty.h"

int main _P2((argc, argv),  int argc, char ** argv )
{
    fprintf( stderr, "ct: not yet implemented\n" );
    return 1;
}

evidently, it isn't a security risk. what would be the point of removing suid
attribute in this version? it will only make the life harder for the mgetty
maintainer when a new version with a brand new ct will come.

reopen bug - time to fix it, along with bug 155670.

Now hopefully I manage to reopen it (sorry for the spam).

Fixed in 1.1.35-r2 - ct is no longer installed.
