Kris Kennaway 2f1ad59ee3 The wmmon port likes to install itself setuid root. Unfortunately, it has a
major security hole (and at least one minor one) resulting in a local root
exploit. Until a better fix is available, this patch installs the binary
chmod go-s, meaning you must be root to run it. If anyone is using this in
a multi-user environment they are strongly advised to remove the setuid bit.

WMMon monitors the realtime CPU load as well the average system load and gives
you some nice additional features too...
WMMon currently provides:
* Realtime CPU 'stress' meter;
* Average systemload, like xload & wmavgload;
* Average systemload graphic is autoscaling;
* Realtime Disk I/O 'stress' meter;
* Average Disk I/O load grapic (autoscaling);
* Realtime total Mem & Swap usage meters;
* System uptime display;
* Realtime cycling through all monitor modes;
* Can lauch 3 user definable commands through ~/.wmmonrc;
* Can be started multiple times;
* Commandline options for help (-h), version (-v),
start mode (-i & -s) and display (-d);
** NOTE - a trivial root exploit was discovered in the current version. As
a result, we no longer install the binary setuid root - meaning it
cannot be run by arbitrary users.
