Year of the Least Privileged User

G. Andrew Duthie asks: "Will 2005 be the year of Least Privilege?"

Scoble, seems to think that it won't be and I would probably have to agree. I do think that we all as individuals could help convert the community at large if we preach about it enough. The Computer Science Club at Grand Valley is giving a presentation next week to students about running as the least privileged user, we will also be giving each attendee a handout about how to reconfigured their computer and account to run as a least privileged user.
