Defaults are often insecure but maximise interoperability or general usability. Look at Windows !
- jacquesm 5y agoYes, Debian - and Ubuntu, for that matter - have some pretty bad defaults in some places. Having users' homedirs UGO rwxr-xr-x is pretty bad. The defaults should be secure with explicit unlock steps for those that know their environment well enough that they can explicitly relax some restrictions.
