That's yet to be determined. I doubt military grade (orange book) would                               
be very feasible to attain without severe loss of functionality. I would                              
imagine, like all things LFS, the choice would be up to the user. There                               
would be sections that one would only follow if the loss of speed,                                    
functionality, convenience, etc., were acceptable. We would deal with                                 
securing X even though X shouldn't be on a production server. So all in                               
all the book should have info that applies to many different levels of                                
security to accomodate the many different uses of the readers' systems.

The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by
the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the
government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be
enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in
this country is closely connected with this.
