I use a separate (but not shared) /usr on my servers, and I mount it read-only. My reasoning is that / has to be read-write still for some things (root's home directory, /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, etc.). I keep a small / that is read-write, but having a good chunk of the installed stuff in /usr mounted read-only makes it a little "safer" (i.e. an attacker would have to remount it to modify it, filesystem corruption is unlikely on a read-only FS, etc.). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
