[4]I vaguely remember that some of these flags were not supposed to [4]come into effect until the system went into multi-user mode.. That would be OK *if* we waited until the system was all the way up before going into that mode. In my case, fsck bombed and offered me a sh. The system is apparently already in this "secure" mode at that point. The same was true if I booted -s. By the time I got a shell, the system was honoring the immut flag. If secure mode is something we turn on during the boot process, perhaps the solution it to move that moment further down in the installation process so that maintenance mode can actually do maintenance. [4]I don't think these flags should be noticed till root decides to go [4]'secure' I agree.
