[comp.sys.encore] disabling setuid scripts?

Anyone know how to patch the Umax 4.3 kernel to disallow setuid script
execution?

Thanks...

Setuid shell scripts were disabled starting with UMAX4.2 R3_3.0.  Presumably
that continues to be the case under UMAX"4.3", although it is not specifically
mentioned in the release notes for either 4.0 or 4.1.  Have you tested for it?
