I'm not sure what the secuiruty implications are, but it's probably a good idea to provide an administrative way to switch that feature on and off (e.g. with a sysctl or a non-overridable login.conf entry), so the paranoid people can calm down again. ;-) While we're at it, shouldn't there also be support for a per-user ~/.services file? It could have been useful to me on a few occasions. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
