Imagine a computer with no user, just root, and an empty /home
directory. You plug in your USB disk and, automatically, your disk is
mounted under /home /and you become a user of this laptop/ - no need
to have root priviledge and enter your name and password in the
database. There's nothing precious on the computer, except the
contents of /your/ disk.
So, now we're implicitly trusting $distro to maintain security for us,
and $initsystem to not include a small hook to send telemetry back to
$distro?
Sorry, I don't understand (~: didn't we /explicitely/ expect that
from *nix, Linux, sysv-init, rc scripts, etc?
