I was talking with a UNIX admin today about security, and he recommended a strategy involving what are temed jails on FreeBSD. He did say, he has limited experience on Suse and Ubuntu.
Hence, my question for this community.
What do security experts working on Suse (or Ubuntu if you have experience with that - I have one box running Suse and one running Ubuntu so info related to either would be useful to me).
He said the core idea is to put applications and/or users in a kind of jail, or a seriously constrained environment, so that they can do no harm to the system on which the applicatin is running, or which the user is using. This sounds like a great idea, reminiscient of the original security model Sun developed for the first Java Applets.
