The last posting regarding /sys/conf/Makefile and the mode of /unix was posted incomplete, i should have added an explanatory note. The public readability and group ownership is a local administrative option, not something i should have bothered with. In my haste to correct a perceived wrong i posted local administrative policy. I'm not a fan of public readability of system binaries, NOT for security reasons but for disc space reasons: people make copies of things, pack-rat tendencies i guess. Being able to nlist(3) /unix without being able to read /dev/kmem (which should not be publically readable) does seem a bit silly at times, but if that's what is wanted then skip applying the patch.
