I see that MIDAS installs several set-uid-root programs into /usr/local/bin.
In this age and time of evil computer hackers, this is not a good idea and
we should Do Something (TM) about it. Here is my risk assessment:

Thanks for your contribution. Let me try to map your functionality to mvmestd calls:

fal.c does not compile: it calls cm_cleanup() with one argument when there
should be two arguments. K.O. |
