Well, this is not a problem anymore, if you use enhanced
kernel security. For instance using RSBAC (www.rsbac.org)
one can define exaclty what program and which user may use
setuid from which uid to which uid.
In normal system status, no setuid() is allowed.
And yes, it's an external kernel patch, which is not in vanilla
Kernel. Though it's tested and stable.
Just wanted to tell you this possibility of hardening owl/
any distribution.
