On the subject of security, I've had some hasstle with trying
to lock up the /sys/print/queue & /sys/print/spooler dirtectories
( at 9.7 ). The only protection that /com/prsvr seems to like
is at least world dwrx rights on initial files.

- Anyone had any luck with this one?

On the 'SHUT' and 'EX' fronts from DM, is it possible to
edit the dm binary in the appropriate places at SR 10.2?
It seems rather an extreme move.

Also, I just tried the following.....

# cat > s.c
main() { os_$shutdown(); }
*** EOF ***
# cc s.c
# a.out

It worked.
