To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Fri, 3 Jul 1998 20:13:34 -0300 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL40 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'm trying to setup my system to do accounting in a secure fashion. I've created the /var/account/acct file with sappend,sunlink flags, but accton return EPERM. If I run accton before setting those flags, it works, but if I (or a hacker) disable acct, I must reboot to reenable it again (in securelevel >=1 ). This seems to be a bug, but I still have much to learn from VFS before searching for the culprit myself. Does it deserve a send-pr, even without patches ? Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
