if security can be quarateed at network port level, and that only I could login the machine at console, is there a need for file system security?
Security can't be guaranteed. With what you've just described, you
don't want Linux or Unix at all. You might as well use Windows 2000
or some such.

win$ 2000 has NTF$ which also got security. open-source computing is not
just about *TIGHT* security, right? please don't mis-understand.
First, Kurt never said anything about opensource computing. Secondly, if you're going to be comparing things to the crap that M$ pretends is a filesystem, then you should be well aware that security isn't only confined to the filesystem permissions.

Perhaps if you explained what specific problem it was you were trying to solve, someone might help you.
