I have to agree here -- even Microsoft agrees with this statement - Windows
comes (or came) setted up in the insecure way. At the Windows Server 2003
presentation, where I have been to, they told that now this problem is
solved, and by default Win2003 is setted up with minimum permissions, and
sys admin should really give permissions, rather than restrict them, while
configuring a server.

And here ROS should certainly support this kind of idea.

But nevertheless bad default configuration isn't the cause to redesign the
whole security system.


With the best regards,
