5. Security Level

At this point, DrakX allows you to choose your machine's security level. As a rule of thumb, the security level should be set higher if the machine is to contain crucial data, or if it's to be directly exposed to the Internet, or hosting many users. The trade-off is that a higher security level is generally obtained at the expense of ease of use.

  1. Choose the Security Level

    If you do not know what to choose, read the descriptions, or keep the default option. You will be able to change it later with the draksec tool in the Mandriva Linux Control Center.

  2. Selecting the Administrator Email Address

    Fill the Security Administrator field with the e-mail address of the person responsible for security. Security-related messages will be sent to that address.
