Hi,
as a sys admin with "more than two thousand items in my $PATH" you are
certainly knowledgeable about the subject of security, without having to
pretend to know every bit of what you have to take care of.

There are things that you wish, but the current security framework does not
provide or if does then inadequately, right ?
Please feel free to add some thoughts to my modest idea of the future concept
of security. Do not assume that it has to be something big or revolutionary -
we have seen that small and evolutionary things can make a difference too.
