I'd say the biggest, most glaring hole is that, much like in Windows, most users don't really understand the file system and user and group permissions.

Linux, as an OS, requires a lot more on the users part in understanding basic security right out of the gate.

A lot of folks out here dropping chmod 777 all over the place just because they haven't had any education on how any of it works.
