A purist such as myself would contend that KEXTs belong in /System/Library/Extensions, owned by root:wheel. The KEXT system was designed to load KEXTs from anywhere as long as their ownership & permissions were acceptable. If /Library/ is made sticky, and then Extensions set 755, it could reasonably be said that /Library/Extensions/ has strict enough privileges, without impeding too much on the usability. Is this something you have considered? You would still need to be root to install/remove KEXTs of course, but at least they won't be in /System/. -- Pelle Johansson <morth@morth.nu> _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
