Linux security may seem daunting, but there are a host of best practices to simplify the maze. Recently, Steve Grubb of Red Hat Inc. outlined some important security principles, including minimizing admin access, the increasing sophistication of SELinux and the importance of auditing systems.

security should be simple. that is why the user+group works better than a full blown acl (yes, i know acl are really needed in some cases).
security should also be minimal, define only the things needed and deny everything else.
if you keep your eye on those 2 rules there should be almost no problems. but security is usually a pain in the ass, that's why windows has the "everyone is admin by default".
