Hi All,
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.
Please look into SELinux and related security model.
Is there a way to do so in GNU/Linux systems (for root)? As I am not aware of any means, I was not able to give him any answers. This feature came to light when we were discussing our Company's adoption of IS)-27001. He has also claimed that this is also the reason why Linux adoption in Enterprises is very low.
One more FUD. He is simply afraid to learn new technology and/or loosing his/her job if he is unable to manage new platform.
