I think this is part of FAM - file alternation monitor, and the particular directory is for root, that's why it is "user-protected". I'm not sure if this is part of the OS, cf. port gio-fam-backend (belongs to GIO, which probably belongs to something else that is then required by again something else...). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
