Eh, I should have cc-ed it to all the lists at once. I've already answered this in -arch: I think that this should be a system-wide option: the /etc/passwd ang /etc/group files are common for the whole OS, and this option describes their contents. So setting this value per filesystem makes no sense and may cause unobvious errors when different filesystems get mounted by mistake with different values of common ID. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
