In the real world, legal and IT lay down the law and you just comply with that (or hack your way around it, if you can ;-). I'm already fighting the good fight trying to keep control of my development machines because IT would just love to get rid of those (since not under IT control .... oh dear ...) And obviously, you cannot do kernel development on a machine without root access. It's annoying enough already to require IT support to provide explicit permission to open the task manager on my own company laptop ... grmbl. > > thanks, > > greg k-h Regards, Pascal van Leeuwen Silicon IP Architect Multi-Protocol Engines, Rambus Security Rambus ROTW Holding BV +31-73 6581953 Note: The Inside Secure/Verimatrix Silicon IP team was recently acquired by Rambus.
