I have to agree in principle here, FWIW. The answer to this problem of |
| 18 |
making the functionality available to everyone is to make sure things are |
| 19 |
clearly and thoroughly documented. I think we are best served by following |
| 20 |
the OpenBSD example of a secure default install and then let the users |
| 21 |
change configuration to suit. |
