p.p.s. why implement yet more code and complexity into systemd for preventing device files when you can just use the nodev filesystem flag. Yet another classic example of pointless arguably, more likely detrimental feature creep/steal and even worse when duplicating existing functions that can be applied more universally. Perhaps because of this quote taken from the opening page of a book about Ada and high integrity software. "There are two ways of constructing a software design. One is to make it so simple that there are OBVIOUSLY no deficiencies. And the other is to make it so complicated that there are no OBVIOUS deficiencies" Professor C. A. R. Hoare The 1980 Turing award lecture I think the one thing all should be able to agree on about systemd is that systemd falls into the latter. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
