Here at Choate we have a program that allows specified users to either
become root, by just typing root, or just executing a command by typing
root command. This program has a crypted database of all people who are
able to become root, so it is secure. There is one problem though, and
that is is one of the selected people who are included in the database
leave him/herself logged in, the person who finds the terminal can have
free run of the system.
