I understand - and appreciate, your problem. I still think that
the solution is wrong. I'm now checking, since it seems that io and
mem are loadable modules, that maybe the X start, or rc.d will make sure
that these modules are loaded? So that if someone who removes them from the
MYKERNCONF is still protected?
