@jimcat8 @sspencerwire I don't think this chapter belongs in the administrator's guide.

This admin guide is designed to gradually teach students the skills they need to become Linux administrators.
Its content is the result of careful consideration.
It’s not a matter of simply adding chapters one after another; otherwise, I would have included the PAM guide I wrote in this book myself.

Here’s what I suggest: I propose that you start your own book on security, the "security guide", where you can express yourself in your own style.
You can move the chapters on special authorities and logs (and why not systemd) over there, and that way everyone will be happy.
What do you think about that?

Personally, this I think this is an excellent idea and I believe I've suggested this in the past. I think it would also be appropriate for @alemorvan to link to this guide (once finished) from the original admin guide's final chapter and/or in the introduction to the guide (index). It would be a way for @jimcat8 to extend knowledge in more detail as he wishes, while still coordinating with the original document's content, AND keeping it as @alemorvan has intended it to be-a stepping stone for new system administrators. I think this would be a win-win for everyone and would keep emotions from spiraling over content additions that may not be appropriate for the admin guide.

Yes, that works for me.
At the end of the administrator's guide, include a conclusion that says: "Okay, now that you're an admin, you can take things further with the security guide we also provide here."

Perhaps a separate directory can be created in the "books" directory, named "personalization".
