For my new debian groupware server (sogo, working great so far), I just installed with the defaults, which apparently is no separate /boot... On gentoo at least, a separate /boot is recommended (or at least provided in the example) in the handbook, for one security reason... It is also auto-unmounted after booting (at least I know I didn't do anything myself to configure that), and it does make sense that it is kind of impossible for anything to modify an unmounted filesystem... Now, whether or not that actually provides any real security buffer, or it falls into the category of feel-good 'security-through-obscurity' is beyond me to answer definitively... I've actually always wondered about this, so I think I'll go ask on the gentoo list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
