    If it's vs anything it would be kernelspace I guess.
    Userland is the rich toolset, the configuration mechanisms,
    the man pages and documentation. Everything, in fact, which
    a user may interact with and is part of the base install.

    I'm sure that is a fine art. The balance between allowing what
    your users want and keeping all the bad guys out may not be easy
    to find. Nearly nine million google hits for 'apache security'
    though ;)
