On Linux (other unixes untested),

I can confirm it's not in the build for Solaris.
I notice that when installing prebuilt
binaries grab_vcsa is setuid root, but when building from source (svn or
snapshot) it's only got basic permissions.
Is this something that should be done by the installation makefile, and
if so does it merit a bug report?
I think this belongs to the distribution package level. The binary tgz
distribution tries to set things up for systems without package system,
therefore it has it.
Currently the makefiles don't have a grasp of files with differing sets of
permissions. (other than executable or not).
Thanks for the clarification :-)
