I must have been tired or it's been working so long without any notice side effects that I missed the obvious. I use the following script from rc.local when it should really be in rc.securelevel with early daemons like syslog restarts to replace the sockets. The script puts /dev in mfs to allow ro root and desired /dev/changes whilst preventing persisted changes perhaps by attackers. I guess OpenBSD filesystem layout (tiny root) coupled with the ease of upgrading and finding changes makes it not worth the small amount of hastle and unintended consequences. Perhaps sndiod creates a socket and I didn't catch it. I have removed it and ro root from all machines in case I miss a catch again. I think ro root may have saved me from hosing a system once but it is quick to fix that with OpenBSD :) Sorry for wasting your time. #!/bin/sh /sbin/mount -uw / #Put /dev in ram for read only root without permission problems if [ ! -d /dev2 ]; then /bin/mkdir /dev2 fi #populate /dev2 with files from /dev except sockets (we can't do so in one go) /sbin/mount_mfs -i 2 -P /dev -s 1 /dev/sd0b /dev2 #Give time to settle so that getty runs reliably and login comes up. sleep 2 #populate /dev with files from /dev2 except sockets /sbin/mount_mfs -i 2 -P /dev2 -o nosuid,noexec -s 1 /dev/sd0b /dev #Give time to settle so that getty runs reliably. May not need both but who #cares about a couple of seconds. sleep 2 /sbin/umount /dev2 #stop and start any daemons that create sockets in /dev /usr/sbin/rcctl restart syslogd

Sndiod restart fixes Chrome sndio_output.cc failed to open device
I've made the pledge and entered the veil with Chrome. Sound works without restarting sndiod in other applications like aucat and mozilla apps. For some reason the sound does not work in chrome even without enabling the veil but restarting sndiod makes it work. I found some pulseaudio consolekit error messages and so enabled suid on /usr/local but that didn't help. Does anyone know what may be going on. Thanks, Kc
