You've got a good point.  In a few years we'll look back on these days and shudder
that we worked so hard to make Unix secure.  The mere notion of setuid programs
and a superuser id prevent security from being possible!

TCP/IP isn't helping things either :-)  Unfortunately we'll be stuck with both for
some time.
