I'm afraid it's impossible. From -ow readme: "Of course, this breaks the way things are defined, so some applications might stop working. In particular, expect most commercial databases to break. Apache and PostgreSQL are known to work, though. :-)" http://www.openwall.com/linux/README.shtml But as it was written in days of Linux 2.4.x, the situation could have changed. A desktop system seems to work. Thanks, -- Vasiliy Kulikov http://www.openwall.com - bringing security into open computing environments
