I wanted to set the /-FS to readonly, only /home,/var,/tmp are writable. All works fine, but after closing a tty, mingetty is respawning too fast and I'm unable to use this tty any more. I tracked the problem down to an write-attempt to the cua-device, but the system reports that / is mounted readonly. Is there a possibility to supress this write-access in the respawning-process? [cut] Also try LIDS, you can be much more selective and set things that need to be writeable writeable.

Well, this requires some changes in the boot script of SuSE Linux, too. I wrote a small How-To including patches for SuSE 6.0-6.4 - but it's a bit outdated (in LIDS 0.9.x the concept was changed, i.e. stuff which could only be configured via the kernel configuration can now be done via the new lidsadm tool). But I hope it's still usefull - comments are of course welcome. :-) I'm currently busy with hacking on AMaViS and my new Linux/Unix Anti Virus Project, so I'll have no time to update it soon.
