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.

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.
In what way is SuSE different from any other distribution in this respect? -- Robert C. Paulsen, Jr. robert@paulsenonline.net
