Now, before anyone spits back the "this shouldn't be done in multiuser, and shouldn't be done remotely" speech to me, remember we all have to sometimes work in not so perfect conditions. Is it possible for the FreeBSD Makefile jedi to put a kern.securelevel check into the installworld procedure? I'm fairly sure that if key files are set as schg, and securelevel as one, causing an installworld to puke mid-make probably isn't the ideal state to leave a box in, hoping it'll come back after reboot with securelevel lowered. Some of us forget to check things occasionally.. *eyes the terminal where ping is running*, I think I'm ok this time, but doing more in-depth system upgrades might pose a larger problem if userland and kernel aren't in sync.. /gnp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
