Even agains super user. He can do something wrong and it will break up the whole system. I mean it because the kernel in one of my experiments coulnd not even reboot . It said "panic" and that was all no syncing no auto reboot ! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
