1 | Hello list, |
2 | |
3 | Years ago, in the days of Yggdrasil I think, the received wisdom was that |
4 | enabling kernel module loading was a bad idea because an attacker might be |
5 | able to load malicious software directly into the kernel. No modules --> one |
6 | more attack route closed. |

8 | What is the current thinking on this topic? I'm not trolling; I'd like to know |
9 | which way to go with a new box. |
