     The best way to make users clever enough to defeat fascist
daemons is create such a daemon.  It sounds to me like you have
bad communication with your user community.  You do not need to
run a university computer center like the users are children.
You can treat them as responsible adults and involve them in
resource allocation policies.

     Sometimes I think university computer centers with fascist
policies actually enjoy conflict with users.  Only problem is,
with systems like Unix with more holes than Swiss cheese, sooner
or later the computer center will lose.
