Well, i had a tiny little discussion on EFNet on our docs channel
(#bsddocs) and there is another suggestion to make a section V
for security and place all security related stuff in there
like MAC,Firewalls,Secure system stuff (or whatever it should be named).

I do not think that it's good to place Firewall and Mac into one
chapter. But that's perhaps a bit of taste :)

Cheers!
