Thinking about all this I have realized that the answer given last
year concerning the Opener might not be as bogus as I thought. I have
tried SnitchCTL under 10.3 and indeed the daemon cannot be killed (at
least not with the few commands I've tried - kill, kill -9, killall).
But there's a glitch, first I don't find this behaviour normal, imho
anything should be killable by root what if it's making a conflict
with another app. Second thing is that it is easily defeated as
unlike in 10.4, you can kill the kext (extension) which in turn will
kill the daemon. To make it worst, you can't start it back after
you've unloaded the kext, a restart is required. Indeed, loading the
LittleSnitch.kext located in the Contents of the prefpane will say
it's missing dependencies, try and load the ODKUControl.kext will
result in a panel saying the app is not authentic and that is cannot
be loaded.
