#1 Re: Why use Debian? Posted by Anonymous (213.164.xx.xx) on Thu 3 Mar 2005 at 08:42 Why not Debian? I use Debian, but one seemingly core value worried me: trust everyone. Debian Sarge by default, and without asking (I checked, twice), allows o+rx to /root/ and /home/*. Why is this a problem? Can't I just fix the permissions and update the config for adduser? Yes I could, and do - but the problem with changes like this is that people assume defaults, and a default permission of "everyone can read everything" isn't good.
