# You can configure a slave instance to accept writes or not. Writing against
# a slave instance may be useful to store some ephemeral data (because data
# written on a slave will be easily deleted after resync with the master) but
-# may also cause problems if clients are writing to it for an error.
+# may also cause problems if clients are writing to it because of a

# Since Redis 2.6 by default slaves are read-only.
+#
+# Note: read only slaves are not designed to be exposed to untrusted clients
+# on the internet. It's just a protection layer against misuse of the instance.
+# Still a read only slave exports by default all the administrative commands
+# such as CONFIG, DEBUG, and so forth. To a limited extend you can improve
+# security of read only slaves using 'rename-command' to shadow all the
+# administrative / dangerous commands.
