#37766: htop: binary should be installed SGID procmod, not SUID root
-----------------------------+--------------------------------

Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2
Keywords: haspatch | Port: htop
-----------------------------+--------------------------------
when installing as root, htop is installed SUID root, which allows any
user to kill arbitrary processes.
instead, htop should be installed SGID procmod.
The attached patch adds a "procmod" variant (set as default) which does
exactly this. -procmod should only be used when installing without root
privileges.
