How does NetBSD handle SetUID scripts?  It looks like it just ignores the
setuid bits (which is good).  I know some OS's have secure scripts, but what
about NetBSD?  I thought I remembered seeing an option for it in the kernal
config file, but now I can't find it anywhere (maybe it was in 1.0).  

I want to do setuid scipts in perl, and I'm planning on having perl emulate
it, but I want to know if thats the best method or not.  Are there any plans
for NetBSD 1.2 to have secure setuid scripts?

Thanks,
        Rick
