first step

[Rik van Riel <riel@nl.linux.org>]

Hi,

it is a good thing that new advanced security features are
being developed in Linux, but parrallel to this effort I
believe there is an issue we need to bug our distribution
people about.

Tools like named, sendmail and various other daemons can
be installed in a secure way, yet not all distributions
do that. Maybe it's time to just ask the distro people
(hello?) if they can install named chrooted and take
similar measures for other daemons...

To the people busy with new security features: Keep up
the good work!

regards,

Rik
