How the hell is a newbie ever going to know that his/her particular security settings are wrong if he/she cannot ever determine its current state? If you are so worried about improper settings, just set them to High automatically on install and then provide documentation for using a *workable* config tool that reveals current security state for adjusting them to personal tastes. jb -- Jack Bowling mailto: jbinpg@shaw.ca -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
