Hi @taragurung

The README says that you need to change the configuration options in the ubuntu.cfg file.

https://github.com/konstruktoid/hardening/blob/master/README.adoc#L50

And on https://github.com/konstruktoid/hardening/blob/master/ubuntu.cfg#L14: "Add something just to verify that you actually glanced the code"

The docs says "Change the configuration options in the ubuntu.cfg file" So i made change in first line in the config.
May be the line is confusing.

Thanks for the reply, that helped! @konstruktoid

Shall i re-write that line, that was confusing to me. may be might confuse other as well in the future. will state clearly make change in that line!
