The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

non-trusted-console systems

From: John Goerzen <jgoerzen@cs.twsu.edu>
> Problem 3: Specifying an alternate root partition
> (Originally mentioned by Bruce Perens)

Consider the potential that someone could mount an NFS root, or one
on a parallel-port ZIP drive or CD-writable if these drivers are in
your kernel and root= is enabled.

How secure is the LILO password? Do you have to read-protect the
block devices for the disk to prevent it from being read out?

You could put this all together into a non-trusted-console HOWTO.
You might also consider writing a script to set up non-trusted-console
systems. 

	Thanks

	Bruce
