Security Level

Please choose the desired security level

Standard is the default, and recommended setting for the average user.

Secure will create a highly protected system - for instance if the system is to be used as a public server.

Security Administrator

This item allows you to configure an email address to which the system will send security alert messages when it detects situations which require notification to a system administrator.

A good, and easy-to-implement, choice is to enter <user>@localhost - where <user> is the login name of the user to receive these messages.

[Note]

The system sends such messages as Unix Mailspool messages, not as "ordinary" SMTP mail: this user must therefore be configured for receiving such mail!

It will always be possible to adjust your security settings post-install in the Security section of the Mageia Control Center.
