I'd venture to say that if they cannot use a computer safely (i.e. not do unsafe things, themselves), that you can only have moderate success with hardening the security (such as against outside threats that you couldn't mitigate). The user is usually the computer's worst enemy. Running unknown code, using untrustworthy software, turning off SELinux, ignoring error messages, disabling the firewall, all because they get in the way, or they take the simple route of not fixing a problem. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
