Its not been much tested. :) But I have run it for a day now, and havent noticed any problems. Its very very simple, shouldn't cause any trouble (except for the security) I guess. There is one thing though, the 60 in the "KERN_GAKK=60," addition to sysctl.h might be the same as other enums applied in later patches. Perhaps change it to something like 9999. I dont know what the KERN_ enums are for though... Or perhaps it can just be removed. --
