FWIW, I was recently trying to customize a wanboot miniroot and in the process of "pkgrm -R /mnt ..." of some non-SUNW packages (FJSV*, I think). During this time /var/sadm (possibly all of /var, I forget for sure) was lost. I haven't had a chance to dig into the cause or repeatability of it. I just thought I would mention it in case there have been other instances of /var/sadm getting lost. This was when working with a wanboot image created by setup_install_server on S10 11/06. On the other hand, limiting root is also good advice. I can somewhat easily see this as being a target for someone trying to free up space. Mike -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
