If you do not see what this has to do with security, then I feel sorry for you, and hope that it is just your home system that you are putting at risk. The defaults are to protect people that are learning. You could think of it this way - you child-prof your home when you have small children because it is hard to learn when learning kills you. How much does a new user learn when the only fix is to re-install the system? How much does it cost if your bring down the network at work because you made a mistake when running as root? Just killing your desktop at work is going to cost in lost productivity. (Unless you are not productive at work anyway - then having your system trashed may stop you from lowering others productivity.) Mikkel
Of course you are playing nanny! You admit it in your response right after you deny it. "The defaults are to protect people that are learning." That's my point. You are adding the job of nanny under the guise of security. That is NOT security.
