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: Install beep as: 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. . Since each program set as suid root can be a security risk this is not done by default. However, the program is quite small (~150 lines of code), so it is fairly easy to verify the safety of the code yourself, if you don't trust my judgement.
