Summary: Well, apart from your definition of hacker...

1. No.

2. b.
	Most can be handled by keeping passwords secret.
	There are several systems (PRIMOS, for example) where you can
	get in without a password by means of some chichanery at
	login. These systems should be identified and avoided.

Let's not, because otherwise you're going to alienate a lot of old-time
hackers on the network who get, uh, hacked off at people who should know
