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!

do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
