	What is this, some kind of SICK JOKE???  Unix is well known as one of
	the premier systems to hack, second only to TWENEX (TOPS-20) for the
	award of "Most Abusable Operating System". (my opinion).  There are, of
	course, special Secure UNIX versions, but straight UNIX is probably
	"login system of choice" for infiltrators...
