The unix way is very clean and true. This is mine, this is yours. And
you could add more rules, as you like it. Wants secure level? Sandbox?
Mixed ownership. One thing is missing: security against user and administ-
rator themself. I found 770 perfect gadget, despite I say this or that.
If I would like the really secure system, I might disconnect it from the
net and from myself. There exist system called "plan9", which has no
meaning of remote installing or messing with permissions of files. Admin
is limited to the phisical access and nothing more. (All two or three
n900 with this approach would be safe.)
Even openvms philosophy could get more security. How could I replace
cpu on my 770 with alpha and add 2 gb of memory?
