Why haven't the linux distributers addressed this monsterous problem?
OpenBSD and NetBSD both have far more reasonable and secure default
installs and I would think it wouldn't be an extreme feat of effort to do
the same for Linux...maybe I'm just guessing but users should really
demand that. Wasn't there an NSA 'secure linux' ditro somewhere?
