After installing the Samsung Linux printer drivers of April 2007, many applications, like OpenOffice.org, open themselves with root permissions.The link (sorry it's french) shows that the installation script replaces some applications with a setuid script ! How awful !!!See also the whole story at http://linuxfr.org/forums/15/22562.html
