Description (last modified by kallisti5)

A configurable boot option to enable "high security" might be neat.

Such a setting could:

  • Disable all writable non-packaged directories (where lib's and add-ons could be injected.. we kind of have this already via disable user addons? Not sure if that will prevent *every* use of the non-packaged directories though)
  • Wipe tmp on boot
  • future: Whitelisting of package sources + trusted vendors as pkgman supports it.
  • Etc, as we think of features.

Just a random thought in passing :-)

tbh, at some point this should be the default. And we should add a "I know what I'm doing" mode.
