A profile with most (vanilla) hardening options enabled by default,
|
||
|
|
potentially at the cost of stability, features and performance.

This includes a hardened kernel, and limiting the system information
|
||
|
|
available to processes through the <literal>/sys</literal> and
|
||
|
|
<literal>/proc</literal> filesystems. It also disables the User
|
||
|
|
Namespaces feature of the kernel, which stops Nix from being able to
|
||
|
|
build anything (this particular setting can be overriden via
|
||
|
|
<link xlink:href="options.html#opt-security.allowUserNamespaces"><literal>security.allowUserNamespaces</literal></link>).

This profile enables options that are known to affect system
|
||
|
|
stability. If you experience any stability issues when using the
|
||
|
|
profile, try disabling it. If you report an issue and use this
|
||
|
|
profile, always mention that you do.
