Take Novell's NetWare for instance. They've got a much more secure security-model. Why doesn't UNIX have one? (Because it wasn't meant for that, ok).
I can't comment on NetWare, I know next to nothing about Novell.
But this is the first time I have heard anyone call UNIX insecure. Compaired to what?
Sure, Unix has it's problems, but almost always these are fixed very quickly. And the access model with user-group-others is sufficient in almost all cases.
If ACLs aren't important then why are they being worked on for Linux? With user-group-others, how do you make a directory or file readable/writeable for one group, just readable by another group, and not readable for the rest? I think I know the last part.
