Hi
People that want to install gnuplot with builtin vga-driver
should be aware that gnuplot has a SHELL-ESCAPE!
It should never ever been installed suid root!
As suggested by hank@Blimp.automat.uni-essen.de, permissions
should probably look like that:
-rwxr-sr-x 1 bin mem 238596 Dec 4 11:02 /usr/local/bin/gnuplot*
crw-rw---- 1 root mem 1, 2 Aug 29 23:48 /dev/kmem
crw-rw---- 1 root mem 1, 1 Aug 29 23:48 /dev/mem
... if you don't want others to become root w/o password :->
