RE: Hardened LFS -- dedicated mailinglist/newsgroup ?

I'd prefer Hardened to Secure. Secure suggests more than it can possibly
deliver, while Hardened is more realistic and reasonable.

For the record, I think it should be called Hardened LFS instead of
Secure LFS. I heard no arguments last time I brought it up, so perhaps
the name should change before lists are created.

HLFS will offer instructions to build a hardened LFS by applying well
recognized security techniques as well as teaching some common
administrative practices. Along the way, security topics will be taught
including how the most common exploits work. The end result will be a
foundation in security knowledge, and a hardened operating system, that
will allow the reader to further develop his/her system and education on
the subject.

How's that?

Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the
law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes
at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim - when he
defends himself -- as a criminal.
