Sure, these are good suggestions. But the first thing that made our
man reach the list was that he forgot the damned root password. And
only since he forgot the root password he found out that security was
lax.
Exactly.. :) After installation, the password was not working.. i thought
of re-install, but this recovery mode worked fine..
In security point of view, i think, even a windows system can be broken if
physical reach is there.
But in some corporate or office setup, we can better secure it, by removing
the CD drive (to prevent live CD option), disabling the recovery mode. I
think, we can achieve this by tweaking the boot scripts.
Any way, it was a fruitful discussion.
