But I don't think that is a false assumtion. On the contrary, that is exactly what I would expect and hope to find from a "production quality" OS like FreeBSD. (In contrast to a GUI-based PC OS, where far too much user code runs with elevated privs. I am not at all surprised when user programs can kill Windows.) IMO the submitter was being entirely reasonable in making that assumption - or at least, on finding a violation of that assumption, to report it and expect it to be treated as a bug. (Even if the response is "we know it's a bug and it's hard to fix, here's a workaround using login.conf".) I guess we can agree to differ here, and I ain't nothing 'cept a user, but my gut feel is that the wider FreeBSD team tends to my way of thinking rather than yours!!!
