[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I've (accidentally, because of a broken pidfile) noticed yesterday that root can kill [acpi_task1] (PID 8 on my system, FreeBSD 5.4-p5/i386). Killing it resulted in an immediate and total lockup of the system. I gather that processes with [ ] around their name are parts of the kernel. Shouldn't they be protected from kills? Note this was a standard kill, not a kill -9 or anything mean like that. Cheers Benjamin [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (Darwin) iD8DBQFC36JrgShs4qbRdeQRAsmtAJ4356W9ENZPqGd/Pjd39nR8pbCiWACeOhMT f0/pQkM/WWOqI926KB8N8Zg= =0AnT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
