Ignorance is bliss, so good for you. Only as root and if RBAC/SELINUX doesn't stop you. It's an extra quite formidable layer. It is a good thing for many reasons and even a requirement on some embedded systems. The kernel can also inform you of any remounts making monitoring far simpler, easier and so powerful and more efficient. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
