Wouldn't you build a custom kernel soon after installation anyway? That's generally recommended. Has it always been the case that /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq could disable the magic sysrq key? I've heard some consider the sysrq key a security hole, but if it can be disabled then there's no big deal. File a wishlist bug if you want. I'm not sure exactly what you should file it against... 'kernel-image', I imagine, but that's not a real package (it's a virtual package). noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
