Secure Programming in GNU/Linux Systems: Part I

LNXPhreak writes "A new article on OSWeekly.com discusses secure programming in GPU/Linux systems in terms of programming talent and requirements. Quote: "A "secure program" is an application that sits on a security boundary, taking input from a source that does not have the same access rights as the program. Such programs include application programs used as viewers of remote data, web applications (including CGI scripts), network servers, and setuid/setgid programs."
