I can't wait! :-) > I belive persistence in devfs (as in /dev) is a very bad thing. So you have a script in your cron that runs through /dev periodically and wipes all your permissions off, eh? I can't see as you'd do anything else since, as you say, those damned persistent permissions are a very bad thing! :-) Needless to say, this all kinda misses the point anyway. It's not what Poul-Henning wants that's important here at all - the *users* have piped up for this feature, they've made a convincing argument for upholding POLA regardless of what anyone on core might think about the issue, and that's what really counts in our feature planning. If we were just doing this for ourselves then our job sure would be a lot easier since we wouldn't have to deal with any of these icky "user" type demands at all. :-) Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
