Re: How efficient is mounting /usr ro?
Hey all,
no jihad please, there are times to couple intruder/vandalism security and
safety, and there are times to look at both concepts as distinct.
To use the distinct definition, safety includes security, as not-secured data
is not safe, and security without safety measures makes no sense.
Program errors leading to unsafety and those leading to insecurity are very
closely related to each other.
On the other hand, security issues sometimes tend to be of legal nature, as in
data security, and failing security may bring a company to court, which is
clearly more important than keeping your server up 24/7.
Human communication isn't exact, and as anyone can clearly see from the rants
of both sides, the exact meaning of the word security varies, not only in
english, but in german as well, as a lot of people tend to use "stability"
where others say security.
Neiter English nor German are programming languages ;)
