Maybe a [silly] rehash, but maybe not.

The reason I ask is that neither the archives nor the earlier post by
Jason indicated that it was necessary to change permissions to do this
before using strip -g on a kernel.  I am trying to understand if I
am solving the correct problem by changing permissions.

Is this because of the coversion to ELF?  If so, then this rehash is not
completely silly.

What I intend to do if the change of permissions is the way to look at it.

chflags noschg /kernel
strip -g --strip-debug kernel 
chflags schg /kernel

shutdown -r now

Thanks to all, 
jeff
