I have been researching the use of "options SUDIDIR" in the kernel. I have
noted several warnings about the use of this option being a security issue,
but I have as of yet to read or see any explanation as to what kind of
security issue its use represents.

Any assistance in an explanation concerning this would be very much
appreciated.

Andy
