]]> Comment on Create UAC White List by Johnm http://www.beingmanan.com/wp/2008/06/create-uac-white-list/comment-page-1/#comment-7701 Johnm Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:09:00 +0000 http://www.beingmanan.com/wp/?p=188#comment-7701 Logging in as a root user is a huge no-no, and sudo'ing everything is annoying. In my experience, the intrusion by the software is the point (for either UAC or SELinux/whatever). If you bypass it, you bypass the point of the software. Whitelisting really makes sense to me. I'm not sure why they don't have a way to whitelist executables. For something you run every day, giving the administrator password and marking the executable as safe is common sense. I'd have to search and read more actively than I'm able to at the moment to figure out why they've foregone that option.
