I've replaced the linux-emulation specific sysctl now with a reference to `security.bsd.see_other_uids=3D0', which we already use as an example in `/etc/sysctl.conf'. This should be a lot safer than a sysctl knob which can trigger panics! --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFbfrG1g+UGjGGA7YRAuriAKCW6l3wMTOsGlpO4OmPYmun1P1JugCfSZoJ kUzOYwvG0lbvAoJYC/Q2GD0= =9hL7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua--
