Let's see if I have this right... you are going to allow the
workstation that is sitting on my desk to convince another system that
I am me, right?

This workstation that I can bring down if I want, and bring back up in
single user mode?  With me in the playing the part of root?  

This workstation that will then lie for me if I ask it to? and tell
your system that I am you?  Or just about anybody else?

Really?
