Description Chris Evans 2000-06-17 17:22:19 UTC 
xload has sneaked in suid-root. RH6.2 went to great pains not to ship ANY
suid-root programs linked to libX11.
We don't want to regress this.
Comment 1 Chris Evans 2000-06-26 23:31:58 UTC 
Not fixed in BETA2 - version updated
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2000-07-03 05:16:25 UTC 
Fixed in XFree86-utils-4.0-0.29 and later.
