I'll at the sysctl/securitylevel stuff to my new ones from now on (does Linux have a corresponding feature)? One question I do have about chflags -- I haven't seen a corresponding 'lsflags' or any way to query the fs for information about which flags are set. Is there one? How to I find out the flags state without changing them? Jim Dennis, Starshine Technical Services,
