If you give 100 users a PC-NFS package and one page of instructions,
almost certainly at least one of them will give his PC the same
name as the server and crash the server. If you do all the installs
yourself this is much less likely to happen. (what a bother)

Stupid users. Bad users. Wish they'd leave my nice Sun alone instead
of causing trouble. They seem to want to get work done instead of
just admiring how wonderful a Sun is.
