+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.
+ .
+ Any program that is suid root is a potential security risk so this is not
+ the default. 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.
