I have a remote freebsd host with root access via ssh user login and su. I would like to configure acls for the /home mount, but am unsure if I can do this remotely.

Last time I tried to reboot the machine via su root it went dead for 24h while a human was sent to press a button or something.

I see possible options as
1) switch to single user mode somehow and then unmount /home and configure acls with tunefs

2) su to root
   kill processes using /home
   do the umount and so on with /home unmounted.
   remount /home

3) some other method.


I imagine it might be quite hard to do 1 and 2 seems difficult unless I have an ssh to a home folder which isn't under /home.

Any ideas welcome.

Why don't you just create a user for this specific task with home dir on some other partition? Then you will ssh to a folder not under /home and you can do 2).

Cheers, Erik
