On my laptop, I can choose if I want to run SE Linux or not. I think that the at least one image should run default with a non-root user and everything in /etc/sudoers. This way, people can uncomment inside that file and apply the security they like. The reason is that some people will use it as a phone, while other people might even use it without a sim. That means we may need different security policies. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
