knowledge is maybe a bit beyond me at the moment. I think I will put this on the back burner for now. I know that you run some sort of service for multiple users.

you will. Definitely. If you deactivate every capability and have running it on a fully-featured system, it will give you a lot of stuff the daemons need and you have to configure. One reason because LIDS is great, you don't have to rewrite any source code to use it and every program uses it by de

Just as a note: LIDS really makes use of the capabilities stuff that is in the kernel anyway. Well it complements it with file access control lists (and maybe some other stuff, I don't have much experience with LIDS), but not everything in LIDS is it's own invention. I think really

oad the patch. You patch the kernel and set configuration options. Then the usual compile run. After you setup up a LIDS protected kernel, you boot the system without LIDS enabled. This is option "security=0" (e.g. at lilo stage). Then you boot it. Set the password which protect your ker

ppearances that something like LIDS may be so hard to configure that it would be almost unusable unless you were some kind of expert. So with that in mind I was thinking that something like Tripwire may be more for me. Basically wanted others opinions - especially on how hard LIDS is to set up and man
