Two questions about chown, if you have the time...

1) Is it possible to change the variable rstchown to 0 without rebooting?
   Everything I can find tells me to put it in /etc/system and reboot, but
   I don't want to reboot our webserver (uptime 1 year!) for only this change.

2) What are the security implications for a (Apache) web server if I change
   this (to allow users to change the ownership of their files) value?

Machine is a SunBlade 150 running "standard" Solaris 8.

Regards,

Nick
