Just had another attack on a drupal site. Should I resort to weird
ownership / permissions at a system level? That just makes it really
difficult for the client to keep their site current, which is pretty
counter-productive. I did work out a couple of scripts for Magento to
chown nobody / chattr +i to lock a site down when in 'production mode'
and vv, but it is still an imposition.
