It seems to me that Vagrant quoted you correctly (which I then quoted), and that above is either paraphrasing or quoting something else than your earlier mail to this thread. >Does this sentence says that I'm asking people to disregard use of >other security measures? No, it does not. It only states a fact. I only said that you regard the use of switches as _a_ security measure. Not that you disregard other measures. >My concern is to prevent an unfortunate assumption: That Skolelinux don't >work because of a small technical security chance, which may give a huge >change on old machines Then make security an option rather than mandatory. Just don't promote something insecure as secure. >I'm asking for a little perceptive concerning security, not a circus.
