Anyway, it's probably irrelevant for a ``backend server'' where you usually don't label floppies etc., nor run an X11 server. (FreeBSD doesn't have the aperture driver backdoor either, so you can't run an Xserver on a machine with a raised securelevel.) But it looks that secure mode seems realistic for server machines. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
