Robert Watson is going through all the setuid files, to see which really
need to be setuid. In -CURRENT he has removed the setuid bit from quota.

Anyway I have been thinking about writing a program to make the default
installation (with "extreme" security) even more secure. I have attached
the configuration file, it should explain what the program can do. (not
one line of code have been written yet).

Btw setting noexec and nosuid on a mount point is a little redundante
right? I mean since the user can't execute files, there is no point in
also setting nosuid?

Best regards
Socketd

ps: Please remember that the LockDown configuration file is only version
0.1, so nothing is final.
