What happens if the kernels are different? Is there any protection against, say, /dev/lp having world read/write and major/minor numbers corresponding to /dev/mem? Presumably one would not do this intentionally but it strikes me as a likely kind of thing to happen as configurations drift over time. Is there a mechanism to protect against this sort of thing or is it a matter of policy? -- Steve Nuchia South Coast Computing Services (713) 964-2462 "If the conjecture `You would rather I had not disturbed you by sending you this.' is correct, you may add it to the list of uncomfortable truths." - Edsgar Dijkstra
