How secure is UNIX?

[James Buster]

I think that something the original complainant forgets is *just how annoying*
a truly secure system is. Have you ever used a system with mandatory security?
Such a system, when properly setup, means that often you can't freely send data
around. Want to send mail to a friend? Sorry, your friend has the
*wrong label*, and can't read the mail. Allowing your friends to just read your
files will also fail, for the same reason. You could allow such information
transfer, but then you've compromised security, haven't you? All in all, no
fun. In general, ease of use is inversely proportional to level of security.
