Talk:Root squash

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted because... --Audriusa (talk) 11:52, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

The article is about important security feature of Unix/Linux filesystem. Lack of the knowledge on this feature raises opinion that Linux is "insecure", that remote root always has same access as the local root, sometimes even going as far as to buy new expensive Windows server rather than looking into configuration. As a result, this seems a high importance article for me.

This feature is described in documentation of many Unix distributions so unlikely to be not notable.


 * The article lacks any clear context - I understand unix but even so I was baffled for a while about what exactly the article says. It is also a "how to" article, which is generally frowned upon in wikipedia. andy (talk) 12:07, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * From your profile I see you are reasonably far from computer science. Could we probably wait for opinion from somebody with more relevant knowledge? Audriusa (talk) 12:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The article lacks a context and is a "howto". Even if it fails speedy deletion I will still propose it for deletion because it fails WP:NOTHOWTO and is a content fork of Unix security. You should contribute material to Unix security instead. andy (talk) 12:26, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I have merged this into Unix security, can be deleted from here Audriusa (talk)
