- HINTS REGARDING THE SECURITY CONCEPT OF INSERT
- ==============================================
-
- 1.) No services which render the system accessible via network are being
- started during boot time.
-
- 2.) There are no default passwords, which means accounts are locked. You
- cannot even log on locally (but you're logged in still:)
-
- 3.) All local interactive processes are startet from init und don't need
- authorisation.
- The graphical user interface is running under the unprivileged user-id
- "insert". Programs that have to run under the root-id, have to be started
- with "sudo" without a password. Alternatively you can change identity
- with "su -".
- The advantage is that a bit more protection against software bugs and
- user errors.
