	Computer security - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The early Multics operating system was notable for its early emphasis on computer security by design, and Multics was possibly the very first operating system to be designed as a secure system from the ground up.
		Intrusion-detection systems can scan a network for people that are on the network but who should not be there or are doing things that they should not be doing, for example trying a lot of passwords to gain access to the network.
		Computer security is a highly complex field, and it is relatively immature, except on certain very secure systems that never make it into the news media because nothing ever goes wrong that can be publicized, and for which there is not much literature because the security details are proprietary.

	Computer security
		Computer security is the effort to create a secure computing platform, designed so that agents (users or programs) cannot perform actionss that they are not allowed to perform, but can perform the actions that they are allowed to.
		In the case of a computer system sequestered in a vault without any means of power or communication, the term 'secure' is applied in a pejorative sense only.
		It is also important to distinguish the techniques employed to increase a system's security from the issue of that system's security status.

	Beyond The Big Three BSDs, BSD Alternatives
		The DragonFly BSD operating system is a fork of the main FreeBSD 4.x operating system.It was produced by Matt Dillon, who felt the development direction (particularly threading and SMP choices) of FreeBSD 5 would result in bad performance.
		Although they can be used as desktop operating systems, their main focus remains the provision of services as network or application server.
		PC BSD is different, as its focus is on a desktop-oriented (personal computing) operating system with all the functionality, stability, and performance of BSD, but with a tool set and environment that reflects a more personal environment.
