There are only about common users on my boxes who have shell access and
out of those 6 only 3 belong to a group that has substantial permissions
and knowledge to cause trouble. Now unless the rest 3 decide contact you
to help them cause trouble..I consider them safe guys ;-)
Anyway I have the liberty to chose who to give what. If I sense them
playing they are dead!

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always
do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
