Re: Blocking write access to /dev/kmem

[tech is not the place to ask this kind of question, misc is.  You
should read the openbsd web site, especiallly about the mailing
lists.]

Do an ls -l on those devices, for starters.  That will tell you something.
Also, do a man mem for more information, which will lead you other
places, like securelevel(7).  That will give you a better picture of
whats going on.

Remember that the man pages on OpenBSD are really good, and
random "man whatever" or "apropos whatever" can lead to very
interesting reading.....
