Not that I'm really commenting on the above idea (although it does sound fine to me), this reminds me about an earlier thread. Is there any interest in us (BSD's) having a SIGDANGER signal like some other OS's do? That way, key processes (like sshd) could at least make it less likely that THEY are the process which is killed. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = g...@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or dro...@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
