Changing(ie lowering)the security settings allows you to modify some
really important config files without SuSE protecting them, then u
can change security back to where u started from.

Depends upon what u want to do with ur machine, if ur machine is
physically accessible to a person who is relatively competent, there
are n number of ways to access it( come to think of it, I will make a
list to cut down on the n number of ways). Allowing users to mount
CDs and FDs is not a bad idea.
