    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?
