Hey folks, flaming about security is fun. But it's not very interesting. How
about stepping back a few paces and looking at the subject line.

How about:
	Trashing /etc/group?
	Trashing most of /etc/passwd?
	Drastic changes to UNIX file semantics, like ACLs?
	How about file version numbers?
	How about file passwords?
