	I did a PS on our 4.2BSD system today and found extra copies of
/etc/update, cron and a few other running, owned by one of our users. I am
surprised that all sorts of system daemons are executable by non-root uids.
I know I could go through each one a chmod them but it seems strange to me
that the system would be distributed in this manner.
