Bugzilla Bug 173924

Title says it all.

In order for dvdrip-master, the cluster mode scheduler of DVD::RIP, to work it
must be built with the fping use flag but /usr/sbin/fping must also be chmodded
u+s or else dvdrip-master will fail on execution with the following:

$ /usr/sbin/fping is not suid root at /usr/bin/dvdrip-master line 220

DVD::RIP mailing list confirms that this requirement is necessary.

Reproducible: Always

Ebuilds shouldn't mess w/ permissions of binaries installed by another ebuild,
let alone w/ suid bit. Maybe add an ewarn, similar to Bug 140231?

ewarn sounds good to me for this case, though, if fping is developing a history
of needing the s-bit across the board maybe its default installed permissions
should be evaluated.

Any way about it users need to be alerted to the need for the suid bit.

Gratz. :)

I think fping should rather be sensible to "suid" USE flag, like
net-analyzer/iptraf . I really think this would be the nicest way:
automatisable way to get a "working system right after emerge", that would be
defaulted to "disabled" for people not aware of it at all.

Of course, in both cases, an ewarn should inform of this :)
- when it's off, that putting it on would help for dvdripmaster
- when on, it's a secirity issue

Fixed in CVS, thanks
