Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Because of an exploit that worked with the /proc filesystem I wondered what difference it would make if I unmounted /proc. In the procfs manual I read that the filesystem is used for 'w' and 'ps' but both commands still work after unmounting and I don't see one error. Are there any problems to be expected (for a web/mail/sql/... server)?
