From /var/lib/dpkg/info/beep.templates: Template: beep/suid_option Type: select Choices: suid root for all, suid root with only group audio executable, not suid at all [...] Default: suid root with only group audio executable Description: How to handle suid root for beep program? beep must be run as root since it needs to access the speaker hardware. There are several posibilities to make the program usable: Either only for root (no suid bit at all), executable only by users of the group audio, or usable for all. . Because each program that is suid root is security risk this is not done by default. However, the program is quite small (~150 lines of code) and is fairly easy to verify the safety of the code yourself, if you don't trust my judgement. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Good question. It took me also some times to figure that out. regards Gerhard
