| Hi, is it just me or is there some documentation somewhere that explains in
| DETAIL what each of the various security levels in Mandrake actually do ?!
|
| - There appears to be no help with description in the install procedure
| - Using locate in the shell to look for "paranoid, security" and other
| words doesn't seem to turn up anything.
| - Using the search engine on Mandrake's web page for unique words like
| "paranoid" turns up zip, nada!
| - Google can't find anything either
| - Nobody on IRC seems to know
| - Nobody seems to be asking this question in newsgroups (i searched deja.com)
|
| I'm not a hard core programmer to go digging through source to figure out
| what the various levels are actually doing. Please point me to some
| detailed description. If there is one, it sure as heck should be more
| obvious!! I saw dozens of posts on newsgroups and IRC channels of people
| selecting paranoid and then not being able to login as root !
Paranoid = security setting 5. The word means nothing to the system. It
a mnemonic to help users decide on settings. Level 5 is documented in the
msec documentation.
