Hi, [ Bcc'ed to -current ] Perhaps it was a mistake :) but I took up someone else's cause and started a thread on -current which now probably belongs on -hackers. So: What are the dangers of having init lower the securelevel to 0 when the system goes into single user? Looking at the mailing list archive, this seems to be a re-occuring thread which always ended up open-ended with no real answer. Already established: * you _can't_ ptrace(2) init when securelevel > 0 * rev1.9 of kern_mib.c unfortunately states nothing concrete * both NetBSD and OpenBSD allow this behaviour * Easy, I'm not married to this idea :-) Just interested "academicaly" So, what dangers are there? -Paul.
