Re: rwxr-xr-x /root



It seems to me that there should be a "global" decision made
when the system is insatlled between:

1. This computer should be more OPEN than SECURE.
2. This computer should be more SECURE than OPEN.

Subsequently installed/configured security-conscious
packages can be guided by this "global" setting.
