Message-ID: <9800000.963411053@enigma.crypt-net.org> X-Mailer: Mulberry/2.0.1a3 (Linux/x86) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm running 4.0-STABLE and would like to mount my / read only. I would like to be able to change permissions on device files via /etc/fbtab. One way I have thought of to do this is to use devfs mounted on /dev. This seems like it could be a conspicuously good way to shoot myself in the foot if devfs is not ready for it (wasn't there a problem with disks under devfs at one point). Has anyone tried this? Feature request for the mailing list search engine: The ability to limit by date. I'm not sure how relevant answers to a similar question asked in '98 are today. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
