Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

 I'm not convinced that the security vs usability tradeoff is being won
 in favour of enabling the boolean by default.


   I don't quite understand this sentence. Are you saying the boolean should
   be enabled by default? We certainly need the functionality. When security
   gets in the way of getting the job done, then we have lost the war.
    

Sorry, I inverted the logic!  I'm arguing that the

Thanks for clearing that up. I think possible there could be more granularity, but the need for php and other CGI languages to extract data from a database and present it as web pages and the ability to act as proxys are pretty basic to the use of Linux as servers. Of course the issues of runaway log messages and graceful restart are important too.

So where do we go?
