8.2 Predefined Security Configurations

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server comes with three predefined sets of security configura-
tions. These configurations affect all the settings available in the Local Security module.
Each configuration can be modified to your needs using the dialogs available from the
right pane. Choose between the following sets:
Home Workstation
This setting is designed for a computer that has no network connection at all (in-
cluding a connection to the Internet). It provides the least secure configuration of
the predefined settings.
Networked Workstation
A configuration for a workstation with any kind of network connection (including
a connection to the Internet).
