Security VeryNice was written with security in mind, nevertheless is is impossible to guarantee that there aren't any holes. Remember, VeryNice runs as root on the local host and does not support network access. However, it does access and read information from individual users' configuration files. For security reasons, the configuration files will be used only if they are regular files and are not symbolic links. Scalability VeryNice should scale without any trouble to extremely large networks with very large numbers of users.
