You can verify that in numerous ways. A simple test : open a file-manager and try to read other users stuff. In "medium"-state that should be impossible (as long as you are not root). Then try to set the "welcome to crackers"-option, and repeat the procedure - you will now be able to do almost anything, included accessing other users files. If, on the other hand, you set the "paranoid"-option, you can do next to nothing ! - So relax, everything is OK.
About Bastille etc., I think others are more capable then me, which leads to a good advice : it's a generally a good idea to post only one question at a time. That way it's easy to locate a subject in the mail-archive and the chances are you'll get more - and quicker - answers from various people here on the list. Bonne chance, Femme Fatale ! Kaj Haulrich
