Hi, Actually this reminded me of something else :) (wanted to post this earlier but since I only just got a fbsd test box again I kind of forgot) Is there any particular reason why the immutable flag is turned on for /kernel, but not for any loadable modules ? root@beyond:/modules # ls -lo /kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel schg 4124312 May 22 11:02 /kernel root@beyond:/modules # ls -lo linux.ko -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 98290 May 22 11:02 linux.ko I usually turn this on, as it seems to me protecting /modules/* is as important, but it appears that this is turned off by default. thx, bye, Stephanie --<> _@r4k.net <>------------------<> FreeBSD <>------------------- #3 - Anime Law of Sonic Amplification, First Law of Anime Acoustics In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there is no air to get in the way.
