Thanks a lot, I'll try that. I already tried a single-user *startup*,
but that only mounts the filesystem read-only (hmm).
My Unix book (unfortunately about SVR4) says you can use shutdown
to switch security level, but the BSD one doesn't support this.
Thanks again.
BTW: Is chflags schg MEANT to be irreversible in normal (root) mode ?
