BTW, if you run ps axf and come across '/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd --daemon' don't panic. RHL advocates of monolithic stack for Linux haven't taken over your machine, but that's how udev is packaged these days even if you have not installed or enabled systemd on your OS. PS. If you are still uncertain, this trick (I believe it must have been fixed in recent versions of systemd) may crash your systemd running PC :-p https://www.agwa.name/blog/post/how_to_crash_systemd_in_one_tweet -- Regards, Mick
