         <p><a name="securityLevel-pa1"></a>The default setting
            ("standard") is OK for the average user. The alternative ("secure") setting
            will create a highly protected system - for instance if the system is to be
              used as a public server - normally you should leave this at the default
              setting.

         <p><a name="securityLevel-pa2"></a>This item permits to configure
              an email address to which the system will send <span class="emphasis"><em>security alert
                    messages</em></span> when it detects situations which require notification to
              a system administrator.
         </p>
         
           
         <p>A good and easy-to-implement choice is to fill this field with
              &lt;user&gt;@localhost - where &lt;user&gt; is the login name of the user
              configured to receive these messages.
