Should it be locked down like Fort Knox?

There's a heck of a lot of middle ground between "Fort Knox" and
"Hippy Commune".

We are not a hippy comune, just two married people, but I like to hear music
from my wife's home, and she uses to see documents that are on my home, so the
actual default fits quite well for 90% of computers out there: home computers.


One solution is be ~/Shared/Music & ~/Shared/Documents.

Another solution is "groups". (If you want to use a computer, you should learn how to use it...)

A third solution is moving all the shared "stuff" out of $HOME and into a separate partition symlinked back to $HOME.

Think too on fathers accessing their minor child homes,

The root password gets me just about anywhere I want to go.

                                                        offices in which
documents are property of the bussiness and not of any worker, etc.


Since the documents are the property of the business, not the workers, they should be in shared folders anyway.
