Hi folks...
Just a heads up... I just committed a change to the routing socket code
that allow non-superuser to open, listen, and perform RTM_GET. This
is sufficient to allow normal use of /sbin/route, and have permissions of
all routing table changes enforced in the kernel. /sbin/route is no
longer setuid-root.
You'll be able to pick these changes up on tomorrow's SUP. If you
encounter any problems, please send a bug report with send-pr(1).
Ciao.
