Does systemd increase the security of the OS or reduce it? For example, does it allow currently-separated processes to dip into each others' memory space? I would appreciate a birds-eye view from someone familiar with the security ramifications of systemd. Would not the incorporation of many loosely-coupled but individually secure mechanisms into a single monolithic mechanism be useful to an entity whose purpose was to monitor communications, view/modify systems unbeknownst to sysadmins and users, etc.? Yes, I'm talking about the NSA et al. I reference the following which also brings up Red Hat's control of Linux: "Julian Assange: Debian Is Owned By The NSA" http://igurublog.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/julian-assange-debian-is-owned-by-the-nsa/ http://igurublog.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/julian-assange-deb...
