I always wonder what the procedure is for upgrading the kernel on these
hyper-secure machines. Whoever has permission to do that can do anything he

"Root is God" is not just unix tradition, it's an inevitable reality. And if
what they want is a system on which administration must be done at the
console, take windoze... please. We don't want it.
