So, if *your* risk assessment says that using LFS is a valid way of fulfilling your employer's requirements, and you understand the security risks, then don't let me stop you.
Most sysadmins seem to complain of overwork, and maintaining self-built systems is certainly not a low-work task. For running your own systems when it isn't a job, the tradeoffs are very different. Of course, there *may* be thousands of people running production systems on LFS and treating the lists as read-only, in which case 'your distros, your rules'. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
