If you intend this to go into the main documentation, then I think we don't need anything, because everything is already documented in its proper place. What you wrote is basically just a summary of various system aspects that might have to do with that vague word "security", together with pointers to the places where they are documented (which reinforces my point). Perhaps a "howto" format that you can post on techdocs might be more appropriate for you. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
