Today a friend of mine showed me a security feature in Windows XP, which to my knowledge is not available under Linux.(Please tell me I am wrong).
So here goes, he showed me a security feature in Windows XP wherein the user can setup a custom access to their own files and restrict access to others, including Adminstrators.
coolness - so a disgruntled employee can lock out the owner. Is this security? is it a feature? It is a stupid flaw. It is axiomatic that root can access everything - this is the only way a system can be secure.
