See " Do We Really Need Layered Security For Single User Computers? " Here's Chris Murphy's contribution on this topic plus his views on packaging in linux. From:  Chris Murphy < lists@colorremedies.com > Here, maybe this is more your style for this subject: https://people.redhat.com/duffy/selinux/selinux-coloring-book_A4-Stapled.pdf Quite honestly I feel the same way about packaging on linux. I sorta understand that it's necessary, like concrete needs cement, but I don't want to interact with it at all. Every distribution reinvents this particular wheel and makes me understand it's peculiarities when it comes to packaging. It causes users, packagers, and upstream no end of grief. It enhances my notion that distros are really different operating systems that just so happen to share a kernel (and maybe some other stuff). -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me.

I have a subscription to user support in the fedora users mail list. I came across a thread about SElinux. Selinux is the mandatory access control security layer implemented in fedora and Red Hat Enterprise linux. In Ubuntu (also in OpenSuse) they implement MAC through Apparmor.

We survived quite happily using the well known DAC methods of standard UNIX. (UGO - RWX - setuid etc). Then I worked on some military syste...

I feared that the momentum of firecracker related injuries during the last days of 2014 would go up and be carried on to the new year. The Department of Health said there were 700+ injuries from firecrackers and gun discharge all in all. It was higher this time than last year by 10 percent. This is stupidity. This kind of stupidity is what fueled those who attacked the office of Charlie Hebdo in Paris. There were 14 deaths mostly journalists and cartoonists. They work for a french magazine specializing in satire and drawing political and religious figures. Charlie Hebdo's office was once fire bombed by islamic extremists responding to a nude drawing of the prophet Mohammed. People will keep on doing something based on blind faith, myth, religious bias or just plain lack of critical thinking. Sure I don't subscribe to the no-holds-barred publishing of editorial cartoons but I respect their right to publish it. Irreverence and satirical pieces of art is important to f...
