Thanks all, I'll just follow this advice below. Where in the boot chain should this go? Currently, I'm adding it to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh. Tertiary question - why nosuid on /var or /home? Don't some programs leave some stuff in /var (vgetty comes to mind), and shouldn't you allow users to set sticky bits on their own stuff? It doesn't make much difference on this machine since it is my desktop, but I'd like to know for future reference. :) Thanks again!
