another topic: insecure default installations



a lot of applications have dubious default installations, where one
can login with a default username/password, or otherwise gain
control of the application without requiring credentials.

i think it would be wise to address this in the policy draft.

specifically, i think web apps should be required to not have a default
login (default to debian or the application), and if it is not possible
to prevent this, the application should not be accessible by default, or
at the very least the admin should be warned of this and given the
option to abort the install.

how this would pan out in a real world situation would not be very
generalizable, but again hooks/infrastructure could probably be put
in place to support this.  

thoughts?
