Security Level

At this point, DrakX will allow you to choose the security level desired for the machine. As a rule of thumb, the security level should be set higher if the machine will contain crucial data, or if it will be a machine directly exposed to the Internet. The trade-off of a higher security level is generally obtained at the expense of ease of use.

If you do not know what to choose, stay with the default option. You will be able to change that security level later with tool draksec from the Mandrake Control Center.

The Security Administrator field can inform the system of the user on this computer who will be responsible for security. Security messages will be sent to that address.
