So what's to stop any other xattr aware application from getting at the xattrs? I trialled xattrs on a couple of little projects, just for storing metadata about files, and found runat very useful for development and debugging. I think it should be kept. (The trials didn't get very far, mainly due to lack of support in java and perl.) -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
