Yeah, I know lots of people like that, and I've never understood
it. If the server lets you copy files up, you can just install one,
and a secure box shouldn't be bothered by any userland stuff
running anyway. If gcc was suid I could see your point...
And of course it makes working around crappy rpms that much
harder :)
Sorry if we're OT now..
