But isn't this already taken care of? To safeguard the system, do not
put users in various groups that can modify the system (adm comes to
mind). To safeguard other users, just set the default permission of all
users to deny access to others (except to ~/www or ~/public_html dirs,
for obvious reasons). What else is desired other than these? That is
what I am curious about.
