I've been down voted a few times here. Interested to know why. Any care to elaborate on which bit they disagree with please

  No idea in your case, but this place is merciless when it comes to any misinformation. That means that downvotes come easy, but that's also one of the things I like about HN.

    That would be fine if any the people down voting were exempt from being misinformed themselves and took the time to explain why they disagreed with the comments they were down voting. But in this case I've been hardening Linux and UNIX servers professionally for years and yet still am completely in the dark about what it was that people disagreed with in my advice. The down vote itself doesn't really bother me so much as the inability for misinformation to be corrected - be that my own error or whoever (which is why I always make a point of replying to people rather than down voting).

  For the record, I agree with you, but you can probably get to better understand people who don’t by reading this old HN thread and article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6616019 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6616019
