Hello,
Let's remember a motto of J. Pournelle of the late Byte : one User, more
than one CPU (let people hog their workstation as much as they want ...)
And another good resolution : no shell accounts for normal users on
sensitive servers (no lusers which could want to DoS the servers
allowed)
Every base covered ?
Cheers
TfH
