this is an old issue which i already brougth up some 5-6 years ago but probably got forgotten... /sbin/init is installed with very restrictive permissions: rizzo2# ls -l /sbin/init -r-x------ 1 root wheel 474696 Feb 2 12:27 /sbin/init rizzo2# which is terribly annoying when you have to set-up a diskless box and trying to share things without giving too much permissions. Can we change the permissions to 555 as for other normal programs ? There is nothing dangerous in that file to keep those permissions. cheers luigi
