i feel that this is a point to be determined by the sysadmin in question, and
i also find it unacceptable if we actually get to that point...
as far as _defaults_ go, for me that sounds exactly like what i came up with
below (more or less).
imho, you're free to change the setting for your installs...
also, iinm there are several security levels?
