Well, my reason for *setting* the immutable bit was that by definition, any automated widget changing /etc/resolv.conf was Doing The Wrong Thing, and as best I could determine, could not be told "Don't change that file, at all, ever" any other way. >:( Anything that breaks because it can't change resolv.conf is already broken anyway, by my own local policies. I've also been known to "chmod 0" (or the Windows equivalent, more commonly) executables which are perfectly legitimate and which have absolutely no business actually executing on my system. I've yet to actually see any breakage doing either of these. -kgd
