I know that most questions recieved by RTOC are TITM (They're in the Manual) so
I read the ENTIRE installation manual especially the part about security
fearing that something may not work.  This PATH problem was undocumented and
the tech helping me didn't know about it either (until he talked to one 
of the OS developers.

I agree about the trade offs and I'm the first to advocate security on UNIX
machines (after being burned by the Morris Worm).  This change made a noticable
difference in the ease in which our 411 shell scripts worked.
