Has anyone thought about a sysctl to disallow the creation/renaming of file names to make them contain characters they probably shouldn't have? While I have no idea why, my customers seem to enjoy finding filenames that will make afio choke, or make some tool somewhere not like them. Before I go about trying to implement this, does anyone have suggestions or comments? (Yes, I realize the tools should be able to handle things like this, and that I should cluebat anyone trying this. However, it's still annoying, and should probably be not allowed under secure environments) Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
