First was /dev/kmem on FBSD 4.3, it was crw-r----- 1 root kmem on FBSD 4.4 AFTER RELENG_4_4 CVSupdate and merge, it was: crw------- 1 root kmem This prevented 'top' from running as non root Also, /dev/null was set to crw------- 1 root wheel and NOT crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel like it should This cause all kinds of very weird problems (I found it because 'elm' running as non root could not send out email) Michael Scheidell Secnap Network Security, LLC scheidell@secnap.net 1+(561) 368-9561 See updated IT Security News at http://www.fdma.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
