Unless you are root or has somehow gotten the root password. Or you may steal the hard drive and examine it elsewhere.

I wonder if this feature can be added to FreeBSD easily. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
