Hi,
today i found that netscape calls "chown".
using netscape 4.7 and suse 6.3 (all updated) i had enabled java and javascript (not for emails..) and disabled cookies including to warn.
after i'd calling the website www.einslive.de and wanna go back via click to home to my homesite www.heise.de, netscape hangs.
looking in kde-taskmanager i found a zombie "chown" and saw, that this was initialized from netscape. nothing was happend, just netscape hangs.
for my underständing it is incredible that netscape can call chown. whyever. there is no one reason therefore.
should be checked or?

I think, that this is not a bug report, this is a security question! If something happens as mentioned above, this should be dicussed! (btw I found the same a zombie of chmod started by Netscape) Marc R. Stockmeier
