And then give the user a choice of what demons it wants run, and then warn
the user of the security risks involved with the running of that demon,
possibly by directing them to some security documentation. Most users will
be unaware of what demons are running, and what those demons are, so
they're unlikly to know about the security of them. More advanced users
are less likly to use yast for getting demons started.

Just an idea.
