and to add another (a biggy!) defence in depth: if something goes wrong, its another barrier in the way of the troublemakers. What can go wrong?:
1. redhat used to install an anonymous ftp server by default (years back). Came in the next morning to the sysadmin swaring about traffic, its the ones you dont know about/and a gig of warez on the drive 2. fault finding x problems you set xhost + 3. ... Whilst 1 and 2 (in gentoo anyway) wont trouble you so much these days, its the ones you dont know about/misconfigure that will get you ...
