I need an executable file to be owned by a user's uid and gid so they
can run it.
HOWEVER, I don't want them to be able to modify or delete the file
and/or it's permissions. Another program will do that.
This, under standard Unix permissions, is a tad difficult. :-)

After installing FreeBSD 6.1, I get the error message ‘Unable to load
kernel’ and it goes to an OK prompt. I suspect the problem is in the
geometry, when installing I get the message ’Geometry of 238316/16/63
for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry’. And appears to
use 14946/255/63.
I have a Keyspan USB serial adapter identified by FreeBSD 6.1 as shown
below. I was wondering if it is possible, and how to, set this device up
to receive COM communications from another Linux box using minicom. Can
someone suggest or point to some helpful docs possibly to setup

Hugely bad idea. Since md5 outputs hex, you're only getting 4 bits of
