May I submit that this is bad policy. How the hell is a newbie ever going to know that 
his/her particular security settings are wrong if he/she cannot ever determine its 
current state? If you are so worried about improper settings, just set them to High 
automatically on install and then provide documentation for using a *workable* config 
tool that reveals current security state for adjusting them to personal tastes.
