Does anyone know the rationale for this being disabled by default?
Its difficult to get secure deletion,
Even at that stage of the boot process, before any service is started, when you know only root is running anything and race-condition attacks aren't possible? (Out of interest - I have no issues with default=no).
Err, no. At boot its easier to secure it. Just during runtime it is very hard. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
