Ya, I don't like it either, but I can live with it.  If we like it or not,
we're going to have to live with a more secure UNIX.  End users will be
demanding it, and we'll have to provide it.  Maybe not now, but 2 years
down the line I think all UNIX systems will have a C2 or better
security rating.
