1. Vivek Khera writes that BSD does nightly security scans for setuid
8
file changes. Setgid directories also come up on the scan when

they change. He says that setgid bit is not necessary on BSD
10
systems because group ownership is automatically inherited on files
11
created in directories. On other Un*xes, this only happens when
12
the directory has the setgid bit turned on.

To install without turning on the setgid bit on directories, simply
15
pass in the DIRSETGID variable to make, like so:
17
% make DIRSETGID=: install

This turns off the chmod g+s on each directory as they are
