One system is a firewall, the kernel secure level is 2, the other one is an internal system running at secure level -1. Nearly 2 weeks ago I source upgraded both machines to 4.3-Stable. Vinum can be loaded and everything seems to work properly, except I'm unable to execute the vinum command on the box running at secure level 2, the following error message is issued: Can't open /dev/vinum/Control: Operation not permitted There might be a good reason not to allow the execution of the vinum command on a more secured host. Basically I used the output of 'vinum list' in a simple cron check script to give some notification if disks/volumes/plexes failed. This is probably even not the best way to perform such a check, but was simple and it worked. Any other ideas how to get status information from vinum or how to correct this permission problem(not by lowering the secure level)? I don't need to be able to alter the vinum configuration at secure level 2, I only need the status information.
