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?
