/ rw,nosuid /usr ro /var rw,nosuid /home rw,nosuid /tmp rw,nosuid /usr/local roexcellent thinking. Does anyone have any problems with this philosophy?
It is difficult to maintain things this way in a dynamic environment. If you've set up the system, and don't expect to update your software again, it's great and secure. But I don't know of many sites that don't update things from time to time, and some of us pretty frequently. I could presumably get around that with /usr/local on a seperate rw filesystem, but then we're back to square one.
