Thats good policy and will work for most (Desktops). Windows does it, even for servers, and it works pretty well, especially for lovesan.

There is no such thing as 'out of the box'. Taken from http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/about.xml: "Thanks to a technology called Portage, Gentoo Linux can become an ideal secure server" is not really true. portage, beside the terrible security holes like "pkg_postinst", has, up to now, nothing to do with the security of a server. Please clearify the statement on the page. Jan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
