The truth is is that it is really ludicrous that you need to essentially have your box in a sealed environment disbling everything such that its almost unuseable. SuSE is a nice toy--great for tinkering with at home--and fairly cheap. But get a different distribution if you want something which takes security a little more seriously--like maybe RedHat or FreeBSD.
I do like SuSE but, dispite the jabber to the contrary, I think the idea of allowing (essentially) anyone to be root is patently absurd.
Just my 2 cents.

And a good morning to you too, mr. Troll Every distribution of every OS known to mankind has no security whatever if you have physical access to the hardware. The exception is if the filesystem is encrypted, and you can do this in SuSE with ease. //Anders
