Hmm, running as root? That's like trying to build a skyscraper with Lego bricks. Might as well just invite the hackers in for tea!

The trusted computing base should be as small as possible, and root access certainly doesn't fit that bill. Option D is not the way to go.

That's right, role-based access control is important for limiting access to only what is necessary.

Separation of duties is the key here. Mixing admin and user roles opens the door to all kinds of mischief. I'd go with option C.

Running all processes as root or administrator definitely violates the principle of least privilege. We should only grant the minimum access required for a process to function.

I agree with Theron, limiting access to only what is necessary helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access or misuse.

Running all processes as root or administrator violates the principle of least privilege because it gives too much access to resources.
