Unfortunately I find it impossible to trust all people. Although the security and preventative measures available to Linux (handed down from Unices of lore) are strong, I can't imagine that any system might be idiot-proof. What if someone is messing with bash scripting and accidentally creates an endless loop spawning mozilla processes? It is quite possible that that user might be unaware of 'killall' and completely unable to rectify his or her own accident. I don't assert that it is likely a sysadmin might have to boot a valid user from a system, but since *someone* wrote 'slay' I'm assuming there was a need. -- Aaron Bieber - Graphic Design // Web Design http://www.core-dev.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
