Well, Ruby supports calling C functions, so you can invoke mlock() that way: http://onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/11/18/extending_ruby.html ...but you also have to do so as root. It might be more sane to setup encrypted swapping: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/swap-encrypting.html Regards, -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ 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"
