You have a little problem with our language, and it's making it difficult to tell if you know enough to start hacking. There are already lots of extra security measures on FreeBSD; if you want to research this, and perhaps come up with something extra, you'd certainly want to look at the "pam" facility (man pam), which would probably be where you'd want to do your work. From your words above, it *seems* like you're saying that facilities like this don't already exist; they do indeed. Adding more is possible, but you'd need to find a niche that's been overlooked. If you just started hacking without looking at what's already there, your chance of getting it accepted is virtually nil. We want to be willing to accept new code, but that code has to fit into the architecture of FreeBSD. ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@mat.net | communications topic, C programming, Unix and 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | carpentry.
