Advanced users • Re: Any changes around how sym link permissions work in bookworm?

Excuse me, but what do you have against security ?
Nothing most of the time.

But it's my machine and I'll do as I like with it, will decide on what security it needs and doesn't.
You have the user 'pi', even when Raspberry pi has acknowledged that using 'pi' as a username isn't really a good idea.
It's certainly not in some cases but I have decided it's perfectly fine in my circumstances.
Why do have a user called 'guest' ? What is wrong with the user 'nobody' ? A user that doesn't have a home directory and isn't allowed to login.
Quite simply because I wanted another account which could be logged into. A user account which no one can login to would be useless to me. Using "guest" is what I prefer to use.
Why change the permissions on the users home directories to allow everyone in with read permissions ?
Because it was the quickest and easiest solution to overcoming an issue which the change in Bookworm created. I simply returned it to how things were pre-Bookworm and don't consider it an increased security risk in my deployment.
