;-) I was wondering, is it possible/safe to make kill(1) to not allow it to kill a root process run from the console? Only the console should be able to kill those processes and no one else. The reason is, I leave a root login on the console at all times... just incase something stupid happens like the passwd is changed for root or you can no longer su to root etc because of a compromise or whatever, but if you have a logged in root already, it'll be easy to fix those. I was thinking making kill not be able to kill the shell after it was hacked etc. <rambling> -- Anil Jangity To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
