This is a really old security hole, and a lot of upstart
mucks have it, because the FBMUF scripts put a WIZARD
bit on cmd-change and cmd-edit, allowing mortals to use
these commands to change wiz-protected properties.

Programs should be corrected, or the W taken off the
script, they shouldn't need more than M2.

    Mmmm, they need M3. :) But definitely not WIZARD.

    Can you name the file and which repository this script
    resides in, please?

    umm... in the fbmuf part of this project's CVS... cmd-
    change.muf and cmd-edit.muf... is that what you mean?

    Because wizards use change and edit on objects they don't own,
    the programs need to be wizbit, but the permissions checking in
    the programs need to be fixed. Those programs predate @props,
    and don't have the correct perms checking.

    Updated permissions checking in both cmd-change and cmd-edit. (FB7)
